circuitco and Intel are still working with Mouser to clear this up
so that it will not be required to sign this document. <br>

this amount does not cover the pre-orders. the pre-orders are

Mouser, like most big distributors, has a quirky system for
estimates on shipments. we are shipping weekly to Mouser...<br>

please note, MinnowBoard is not Intel. <br>
<br>
just like RaspberryPi Foundation is not Broadcom, nor is
BeagleBoard.org the same as TI...<br>
<br>
yes minnowboard.org did underestimate the initial demand for the
MinnowMax. we had expected that the initial shipments of the Max
would go directly into inventory at many of the distributors and we
would have more time to fill up the "pipe" as it were. initial
production was at 300 units per week, but now that we have verified
these productions, we have stepped up to 500 per week. this should
increase to 1000 per week within the next 30 to 45 days.<br>

please note that the RPi production was initially pretty small too.
you can look at the timeline here:<br>

<br>
in fact the initial back of RPi had a number of delays due to things
such as having the wrong ethernet jacks populated.<br>
<br>
in general people on the consumer side often are often unaware of
the logistics involved in ramping up production of something like
the minnowboard max...<br>

initially all of the back orders were passed to mouser. i am very
surprised that you were able to pre-order with TIGAL as we did not
even have them as a confirmed distributor until the first of
august...<br>
