Hello Genesi

Can you please clarify the current production status of the Pegasos 2? Are they going to still be made? Is the ODW available? IF so how many do you have? There has been rumours no more will be made.... IF this is the case there is no desktop box for the user base - just high end and low end industrial type boxes..

Hello Thomas, we are still selling them and making them.

Ralph said: "as far as I know" and he was right enough for the information he had at the time. With RoHS we were not sure about what to do. Nevertheless, the PegasosPPC continues to ship.

Pegasos production has traditionally happens on a fairly long-term basis; it's scheduled, parts are ordered, lead times taken into account, this can take weeks or months - some components have had a lead time of 12 weeks from the initial order, if the vendor has been low on stock.

RoHS resets all this because it's a whole new set of components from scratch in some cases. There was a lot of planning in finding RoHS parts that would work.. it's also possible that some parts were simply unavailable in lead-free options. This is a lot of effort.

It's a lot like baking a cake, except you can do that in an hour and usually the supermarket has stock of the basic ingredients. Imagine if they outlawed flour and vanilla, and you could only buy a certain kind of fruit for it. It makes it a little more time consuming

Thanks for the responses. Rather interesting. I certainly did not know that manufacturing computer motherboards was just like baking cakes for instance.

So in essence, since the ROHS regulations in the EU there has been no run of pegasos and that the ones being sold are inventory, correct?

Maybe it's more like pizza;

That is pretty much how we have operated for the past 4 years? We have a production that gives us enough to sell for months and months, and then we spend months and months selling them.. what's the big story here?

The big story is whether you have a (large or small but) *limited* stock of pre-RoHS pegs (which were made before the RoHS directive came into effect, hence still legal to sell), but no RoHS compliant successor when that stock is sold out?

Has one single RoHS compliant Pegasos been made? If not, can it/will it happen, or are you aiming for a RoHS the OSW instead?
