Hi

Here is an update to the next batch of the Q68.

I have submitted and paid for the the next batch of Q68 boards to be manufactured and have the SMD conponents machine soldered.

Unfortuneatley, there is a 25 week lead time on component deliveries, this means the completed Q68 PCBs will be delivered to me in October 2022.

I have to solder some Through Hole components, Programme the FPGA, build QL Network Circuitry, build into Case.

I am sorry for the delay in supplying the Q68.

Hardly your fault Derek, the semiconductor world is up that famous creek, without a canoe or paddle, right now! Even large car manufacturers, who must order bits by the million, can't get stuff.

Cheers,
Norm.

Hi Derek,

Great that this is going ahead. The delay is completely understandable, and out of your control.

Happy to pay a deposit if you need it.

It looks likely you could still get them shipped before the next batch of Spectrum Nexts!

Hi,

I did consider pre-payment or a deposit, but I do not want to get into a finanical situation where I have taken money and not supplied the product and given excuses for the delay.

I have financed the next batch of Q68 boards, so there is no need for any pre-payment.

I have always beaten the Spectrum Next to the market place.
