725.0. "DEFCN's on Engineering Hold?" by MISFIT::KINNEYD (Perform Acts of Random Kindness) Mon Sep 28 1992 10:16

    I heard that all DEFCN's are on engineering hold due to a bad chip set.
    Anyone know what happened and what the backup plan is? These were on
    critical allocation as it was, this sounds like one of those bad
    things.

725.1The REAL FACTS on FDDI ShipmentsDELNI::PIEPERMon Oct 19 1992 15:5430

   The facts of the situation are as follows:

	o We had various FDDI products on hold due to the availability 
	  of some FDDI components (chips and fiber optic transceivers)

	o A dual approach recovery plan has been established and is 
	  being executed

	o Limited product shipments have already begun

	o Full production shipments are expected to resume the latter 
   	  half of November

	o We need your help to prioritize the most CRITICAL ORDERS
	  during this interim period.  Please alert us of customer
	  situations that are TRULY in jeopardy of cancellation and
	  we will do all we can to assist.


   We will need a very brief description of the customer situation and
   the DEC #(s)  

   Please send this information via mail to:
