1639.2Really RSNLEDS::ACCIARDIHeisenberg may have slept hereWed Aug 31 1988 12:028
    
    I have it on pretty good authority that the 1.3 manuals have been
    printed and have been seen sitting in Westchester.
    
    The Software Shop thinks they'll have official packages in a few
    more weeks.

    The Memory Location does not expect 1.3 until October.

1639.4Memory Location is probably about rightNSSG::SULLIVANSteven E. SullivanWed Aug 31 1988 12:188
    In  the  Bix  developer's  sources  area (the restricted one) the
Omega 7/8 (Kickstart/WB) were posted about  Aug  1  and  WB  Omega  9
mid-August. Manuals are supposedly being printed now.

    I  think October to mid November is realistic. Afterall, how long
does SDC take to get an update out the door?

    A lot of things are coming in the fall including the new chip set,
    the video toaster, various internal modems, etc. Save those pennies.
1639.6They're heeeere!LEDS::BUSCHDave Busch at NKS1-2Fri Nov 04 1988 13:237
Called the Memory Location again yesterday and they said that this past Tuesday
they got their second shipment of 1.3's, but alas, they're sold out again.
However, the Software Shop in Worcester has them in again for $24. I picked up a
couple (one for a friend) but I don't know how many they have in stock. Good
luck.

1639.7Will somebody buy it for me?ATALL::ELLISMFri Nov 04 1988 16:387
    1.3 isn't going to be released in the UK for a while yet. Any chance
    of someone in the states puchasing it for me if I send the necessary
    funds ?
    
    Is it worth buying the new kickstart ROMS aswell as the new disks?

1639.8Software Shop is out but ...PIPA::MKIRKPATRICKI'm A Ski BumSun Nov 06 1988 23:5712
    
    I just got the last 1.3 Upgrade kit from The Software Shop in
    Worchester. They said they would be getting another shipment in
    sometime during this week.
    
    RE: .7 - The kickstart ROMS aren't available yet and only would
    only be worthwhile getting if you have a hard disk drive for the
    time being.

1639.91.3 ROMS are available...ANT::GERBERRobert GerberMon Nov 07 1988 12:035
    Re: .7 & .8
    
    	The 1.3 kickstart ROMS have been at the Memory Location since about
    2 weeks before the 1.3 enhancer package.  I believe the price is
    $45, and if you want them to install and test it add another $25.
1639.101.3 WB and Roms availableHBO::SWARTZMon Nov 07 1988 13:315
    I was up at System Eyes in N.H. yesterday and he still has 1.3 WB
    available.  He also said he has 1.3 roms.  Phone is 603-889-1234
    if you are still in need of it and want to check if it's still
    available.
