It's software this time!

Just change this Poll title with "Will you buy a Pyra SATA Adapter ?", and we are done.

 

[Phlyra]

@daveshah have you received your Pyra unit yet?

 

[daveshah]

No, I haven't - I don't think it has been shipped yet.

 

[Alphasys]

SATA adaptor, yes please.

You mean a mechanical construction like for the Pandora Console adapter?
One issue to take care of is that you can still open the lid. This limits the max. dimensions of the PCB which must accomodate tree connectors and the amplifier chip.
And I have not found an USB3 plug (the one going into the Pyra) which can be vertically mounted to the PCB. Vertical USB2 and SATA sockets are easier to find.

Not familiar with the Pandora Console adapter for some reason, so I can't really answer that first question, its just that my first thought when looking at it was that there was a lot of empty space behind those two sockets, and that it would be nice if they could be physically closer to the unit. I see what you mean about being able to open the lid being a limiting factor there though.
Thanks for the response in any case.

Come on, @EvilDragon, that poll finished a week or two ago, and was pretty unequivocal; get that prototype unit shipped!

 

[PowerGod]

get that prototype unit shipped!

So we can finally start to ask @daveshah "Have you finished ?!" in a neverending loop !!

Yes, such fora have too many messages to follow and remember all of them...

So production starts this week? You are just first in the normal pre-order queue, right?

I think he's getting it a little extra early.

 

[docbroke]

That's nice ! But don't forget,

Yup, delivering the first means production started

The first regular production pyra will be out in the open

Huh, I thought it was one of the ones that was already sitting on his desk at the start of this discussion?

I thought that ED said that he would get one quickly, but without the final packaging.

 

[Phlyra]

I thought that ED said that he would get one quickly, but without the final packaging.

I've got a few retail units here already (without packaging, etc. though) and would love to send him his unit already - but he's a bit further down the queue.

I think it would be great if I let him SKIP the line - and finish his order right away (sending him packaging and the rest of the experience later on).

Looks like we both remembered correctly...

So what’s going on?

 

[daveshah]

According to IRC, ED wanted to have the final ordering page up and running first.

 

[matzesu]

Cool, so whe see the final ordering page soon ^^
