[Coco] 2GB MicroSD Drive Pak status

[Roger Taylor]

To my fellow CoCoNuts and customers,

Because of a progressing "problem" with getting the cases made for my 
mini paks, I am temporarily slowing the orders for the Drive Paks and 
any other mini paks until further notice.

But wait: this does NOT mean these items won't be available for 
sale.  What this means is that with the Buy Now buttons in place on 
my site, I simply cannot take any more orders which are outrunning my 
ability to have a machined mini case for the paks.

Let me further explain: it takes a long time to get the pak cases 
made, with no guarantee.  When I sell a pak, I'm making a promise to 
deliver the product that was ordered.  If the cases run out... time 
to invoke plan B.

*****  So... if you have ordered a Drive Pak, you WILL get your Drive 
Pak.  ******

I know who you are.  You are in queue with the other Drive Pak 
customers.  I understand why you're writing me asking how long it's 
going to be.  I understand that several months is too long to wait 
for some people.  I understand that half a year is too long.  I 
understand that a year is too long.  For some people, 5 days was 
enough to cause an uproar and a PayPal dispute.  I wish I were a 
Wal-Mart and could run the counter quicker with more people, but it's 
not that way here.

Now, because some people like to speed read my messages and jump my 
ass out of context, let me FURTHER explain:

The Drive Pak is not going away.  I am SLOWING down the orders until 
I figure out where to get the next cases made!!  I don't want to use 
game pak cases unless I absolutely have to.

At this time, it looks like based on the # of cases I have coming 
(maybe the last batch, who knows), I can take *8* more Drive Pak 
orders that are guaranteed the non-game-pak case which is a rock 
solid "unbreakable" vinyl or plastic case.

******  If you want a Drive Pak, I suggest that you order one now 
before the button vanishes from coco3.com indefinately.  If you want 
a pak later, you can write me and ask how to order one and expect it 
to be in a game pak case, worst case scenario.  Either way.... it's 
still a Drive Pak.

PLEASE, if you have any personal comments, attacks, flames, or 
whatever, please just throw it at me privately.  I just wanted to 
post a bulletin here and I don't want to get involved in a heated 
thread about why it's not easy running a CoCo business.

Again, 8 Drive Paks are up for grabs before I go into "Plan B" mode.

Thanks to everyone who has bought any kind of mini pak from me.  I 
truly enjoy building them!!
