I have a couple of questions. 1. Is there an official CC trade in program to acquire a MMP? I have an MM in excellent shape I could part with.(only mods are fan on heatsink and vent holes in case) 2. Will the CC programming software run on Ubuntu under Wine? Thanks, Don

1.) Yes. File it under a non-warr service claim for now, and req an upgrade. Its $75. Best info I last had.

2.) No idea

That sucks. I spoke to Jenny @ Castle and asked her if there was some kind of trade in program and she said no. This was about a week before they shipped them out.

NOTE - if you ask for an upgrade (which we are now allowing... ) you will be put on the bottom of the order list -- there is no priority for upgrades vrs. new orders -- so they will go out in a "first come, first served" order. Because the MOSFETs in the MMPro are still in short supply, we can't build enough of them to meet demand -- so it might be a while before you will get your MMPro on an upgrade...

The MMPro are in short supply eh? I should put a couple up for sale for 1 meelion dollars each (said in my best Dr. Evil voice). Hey, if people are dumb enough to pay upwards of a thousand dollars for a Wii, think what they will pay for a rare MMPro.

I don't suppose anyone has an answer to my second question? Don

2. What's Ubuntu? I like wine.

Seriously, it will probably work OK. We haven't tested it though. The Castle Link uses a HID device driver, so it works the same way a mouse or keyboard would work.

Thanks! I'm trying to wean myself from MS operating systems. I'm currently running a dual boot XP/Ubuntu 9.10. Lots to learn. Don

You have to add a note to the form asking for upgrade to MMPro- $75 I believe.

Is the upgrade option still available for the MMPro?

I wonder what the turn around time is looking like now?

I believe so, and probably at least a few weeks, more likely a month- I bet once the new factory is up and running after the move that they ( castle ) will be able to crank out a much higher volume of escs of all flavours.
