Steve,

Regarding to your questions :

>does this mean your modules.. if you make more.. will no longer be in "module
>only" form and be built into an Exclusive board?

Well, i have to think about this. At this moment i have some of the parts
already available for the module sets. The connector, printed circuit boards
(PCB) and the resurrection 'front' plates are already in stock as wel as 20
module casings. This has pasrtly to do with the fact that i have had to buy them
in 50+ pieces. The connector was even in 500+ :(

So very probable and if allowed i will issue another 25 pieces like the previous
module set. At this time i have some 15+ buyers waiting... If there are any
more, please write to ruud.martin@wanadoo.nl

If Saitek wishes so we can produce Resurrection alike modules but branded by
Saitek and delivered by Saitek. This will very probable not be branded with
Phoenix Chess Systems / Resurrection so the limited series will stay limited. I
would be honoured if the name of this module would remain Resurrection (but then
branded with Saitek).

I am thinking about a specific update for the exclusive board where i will
remove the modular concept and rebuild it towards a dedicated Resurrection
system. Design and such will be alike the former tournament machines.

>if so,i assume they can still be upgraded via the PC connection module??

Yes, and probably bluetooth enabled. Similar to Firmware upgrade used in pc
products.

>While you are waiting for Saitek to decide if they will take on your
>Resurrection,will you be releasing more modules/boards or are you still on
>hold until they decide??

I will respect the current negotiations with Saitek, so no further 25 pieces at
this time. But they must respond within a certain time period...
