i called discivery software and they said marauder II should be 
shipping by dec 10. updates will be available for a nominal charge.

aegis has sent an announcement regarding updates for draw. i received
this about a week ago.

lattice has announced update for c compiler ( 3.1) if you pur-chased
from them you should have got a card.
