Last point, if it wasn`t for the retailers then saying all versions then this problem would not have arose and hopefully the advertisment on the new chip will show this. Thanks

Yes - the point you make as I've extracted it is valid. But the info used by people on their websites comes principally from my announcements. What they then make of it on their web sites is down to them.
As to the test rigs - you are partially well informed! However I remember very clearly talking to the Messiah 2 developer when he gave me the first (literally) handbuilt v1.31 to test - he said that he was laboriously running it through ALL the regression tests.
The v9 test rigs weren't an issue at all. In fact we actually built them for him. he got the May 2003 version of v1.31 running on the replacement 50000s same day as we gave hinm the rigs.
The issue, as I've said elsewhere, was that at the time of v1.31 release, he only had the 50000 to test - no other v9 model. We immediately sent a sample to test in Australia and that worked - meaning that 50003 and 50004 would work too - and they did. So the v1.31 was released.
Then Terry at Foundmy reported that 50001 didn't work. Actually - nobody else (so far as I recall) said v1.31 didn't work on 50001 based on their tests - but a number of people said that it actually DID work.
Then a number of European dealers reported that v1.31 didn't work on 50004 as then available. So we got a couple of these in and re-auto-configured the Messiah 2,. v1.33 is the result.
The community has had regular reports from me on behalf of the Messiah 2 team; I can't do much more than be open with the community.
Anyway, we are in background communication and everyone should know that we are not in any way at personal odds. I'm really ashamed of the people at
[email protected] who gave you such a bum reply when the Messiah2 support team forwarded your question. As you know I've taken that up with the Messiah team.
Do I have your permission to alter your title to put a question mark at the end after the word off?
