Since nobody has mentioned it, let me point out, that there is a 'Huge White Elephant in the room'. The Carte Blanche failed to perform, or even attempt to operate at Kfest. There has been no news or updates on the 'technical' problem that was encountered. I, for one, was looking forward to this card and the possible options that it would bring to the Apple II world. I would think an update every so often would ease the potential buyers indecision's about making a $200+ investment.
I have a lot of faith in the folks behind the Carte Blanche. Both Steve and Alex are experienced engineers who earn a living designing things a lot more complex than the CB. It's summer and they also have families and "real" lives outside the A2 community. Dealing with Chinese OEMs is frought with complexity, particularly in the situation of a low-volume design.
Patience is a virtue. Steve
