PURPOSE OF NOTIFICATION: Change of Availability Status - EOL In accordance with Ampro’s product lifecycle management policies, this Product Notification tells customers that the products listed above are being transitioned to End of Life (EOL) status, effective immediately. Accordingly, Ampro is offering the following Last Time Buy (LTB) opportunity. • The QuickStart Kit is no longer available. • Orders for the boards will be accepted through November 30, 2007 (LTB Date). • Non-RoHS cables (W- models) are available only while supplies last. RoHS- compliant cables (X- models) are not EOL because they are used with the migration boards identified below. • If the desired quantity of boards is not in stock, a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 100 pieces and/or a Minimum Shipment Quantity (MSQ) of 50 pieces could be required depending on other customers’ orders. • Shipments against these orders will occur through November 28, 2008 (Last Shipment Date). • Ampro will support shipments until April 1, 2008 at the current prices. If deliveries are required beyond that date, the price will increase by $30 per board, for deliveries until November 28, 2008. This is in keeping with Ampro’s lifecycle commitment. Customers should migrate to Ampro’s new Active Promotion products (i.e., recommended for new designs). The ReadyBoard 620, ReadyBoard 800, and ReadyBoard 820 are RoHS-compliant, use AMI BIOS, provide greater performance per Watt, and are already in production. The ReadyBoard 620 uses the 500 MHz AMD Geode™ LX 800 processor and has PC/104-Plus expansion (PCI and ISA buses). This low-cost SBC is probably sufficient 6853516 REV AA 1 OF 4 for many applications, but not for graphics-intensive applications. The ReadyBoard 800 features Celeron® M and Pentium® M processors from 800 MHz to 1.8 GHz with PCI- 104 expansion (PCI only), and the optional MiniModule™ ISA provides a PCI-to-ISA bridge for customers who use PC/104 (ISA) I/O modules. The ReadyBoard 820 currently does not have bus expansion, but will roll to Revision B in Q1 2008 with PCI- 104 expansion and support for MiniModule ISA, just like the ReadyBoard 800. The new ReadyBoard 820 product features the 1.0 GHz Celeron M and 1.4GHz Pentium M processors with the Intel 915 chipset for customers who need Serial ATA (SATA), faster DDR2 533 RAM, higher performance integrated graphics, and/or Gigabit Ethernet on a PCI Express™ lane rather than on the PCI Bus. Samples without bus expansion are available now, and Revision B with PCI-104 expansion will be available in Q1 2008 as mentioned above.
