When I called Megabyte in September, they said they were being forced to
redesign the board because one of the parts they used was no longer
available on the market. They mentioned that they might have the new design
ready by October. Also, they were accepting orders for the board, but only
by mail. (i.e., no phoned in credit card orders...)

I called again last week, but I guess it was a little too early Texas time,
so none of their support staff were in yet. The guy answering the phone did
say, however, that the board was not yet available. I was going to call
again later but have succeeded in putting it off so far...
