Last Time Buy Notice – Board Products

November 7, 2003

Effective immediately, DATEL, Inc. will be phasing out its line of board-level data acquisition

products. We will accept last time buy orders until February 28, 2004. Final shipments must

be accepted by June 31, 2004. In addition, all repairs and technical support must be concluded

by September 30, 2004. Please contact DATEL Sales as soon as practical to schedule your

order.

If this Notice is received by Purchasing, Materiel or Procurement personnel, we strongly

encourage you to forward this to your Engineering, Administrative and Program colleagues as

soon as practical.

Models to be Discontinued - Essentially all DATEL board-level data acquisition products, all

board-level accessories and all board software are covered in this Notice. This includes:

All ST-xxx model numbers (Multibus I boards, example ST-711)

All PC-xxx model numbers (ISA bus boards, example PC-414)

All DVME-xxx model numbers (VME bus boards, example DVME-628)

All CPCI-xxx model numbers (Compact PCI bus boards, example CPCI-511)

All PCI-xxx model numbers (PCI bus boards, example PCI-416)

Please note that many older ST-xxx, DVME-xxx and PC-xxx boards are already on very

limited availability due to component obsolescence and other manufacturing issues.

Last Time Orders - Customers should contact the DATEL Sales Dept. (Mansfield, MA, USA)

directly to place orders and negotiate delivery schedules. Some products may require minimum

order quantities and/or extended delivery. This varies over time so it is difficult to give an exact

list of such products.

To assure supply, we encourage customers to accept deliveries as soon as practical. As

time passes, customers risk non-availability of an increasing number of products. After the

customer accepts final order acknowledgement, all orders placed will be firm and non-

cancellable.
