| Here are the latest facts around the DECbridge 900MX availability. The DEC-
bridge 900MX is SHIPPING but at lower volumes than we anticipated.
We had a two week manufacturing hold due to some manufacturing process issues
that resulted in more DOAs than was acceptable. Manufacturing has made some
tweeks to the process and are doing 100% QCing and 5 hour burn-ins. This
appears to have solved the DOA problem but we are continuing the 100% QCing
to assure that we have truly fixed the problem and have not inadvertently
impacted something else. Unfortunately the 100% QCing takes more time so our
weekly production volumes for the next few weeks are lower than we would like.
The plan is to continue the 100% QCing for a few weeks to assure everything is
still OK and then go back to random-selection QCing. When we do this, we will
increase our volumes back to the unrestricted volumes. There is a very large
backlog of DECbridge 900MX orders so Manufacturing is scheduling any new DEC-
bridge orders to ship at the end of the quarter.
