Andre LaMothe has asked that we post an update on the SX-Key situation. Here it is:
 

The new USB SX-Key is very close to shipping.

 

Gunther, Peter, and I spent all last week working on it, since it had been recently re-designed by Gunther and the new clock synthesizer chip was posing some subtle issues. We got all the software straightened out, but it was still not working reliably. On Monday, Kevin and I discovered that the 20MHz crystal on the new Key was flakey, perhaps due to moisture absorbtion during cleaning. We replaced the crystal and it started working perfectly. So, we need to do a once-over on all the software to make sure everything looks straight (even though it seems to be working fine), and then solder on new replacement crystals to our current stock of 1,000 new USB SX-Keys.

 

I am hoping that we can start shipping again next week.
