   "reduction is sue to a shortage of a specific semiconductor.  The part 
   constraint would prevent if rom shipping any Series 6000 [machines] 
   1st half."

   =========================

   Anyone *KNOW* what the missing "part" is?  (I [and others??] have my
   [our] idea, but it's speculative!)




The missing part is (or so my sources tell me) the CPU chipset for the
Series 6000.  It was due to be produced over a year ago, but since
then only underspec parts have been produced.
