Quite possibly, because A-G offered PCD-II at half price to PCD-I owners,
and A-G has their money.

At the ACORN meeting last night, one member brought in the PCD-II he
received yesterday (via UPS-Blue). Anothee member, who received his
PCD-II last week reports that it works w/ MSDOS 2.1, not 3.x. It has
a Norton SI of 4.2. he talked to A-G yesterday morning, and had 2 things
to report:
1) The "problem" has been found, and will require 2 chips to be replaced.
2) The PCD-II board cannot be made smaller because it is a 6-layer pc
board and there wouldn't be enough real estate on a smaller board to
accomodate the internal traces.
