| _Bnu | mntmn: Will you live stream the ZZ9000 testing so you can have people bug you in chat and ask when you're shipping their card... | 13:05 |
|---|---|---|
| mntmn | _Bnu: haha no. but maybe fw1.9 debugging | 13:51 |
| _Bnu | FIST debugging! | 16:00 |
| mntmn | hehe | 16:01 |
| mntmn | percussive | 16:01 |
| _Bnu | I finally got around to removing the hard drive from my A4000 earlier today... still don't have a replacement ready... | 16:01 |
| mntmn | 1 step out of 2! | 16:01 |
| Jope | _bnu what rom are you running in the 4k | 16:05 |
| _Bnu | 3.1, of course. | 16:20 |
| Jope | ok | 16:21 |
| Jope | was doing more experiments with an idesata bridge and a4k motherboard ide and I just couldn't get it to work reliably with a commodore rom. booting off the 3.2 modules disk made it work better.. urgh | 16:23 |
| _Bnu | Well, I don't use the motherboard IDE anymore either. | 16:50 |
| _Bnu | I just have it terminated. | 16:50 |
| _Bnu | But Kickstart 3.1.4 and 3.2 both have a patched scsi.device in ROM. | 16:50 |
| Jope | which controller do you have? | 17:16 |
| _Bnu | FastATA something something 4000. | 18:00 |
| Jope | ok.. want to gamble? :-) | 18:11 |
| Jope | drop me your address on discord or query here and I'll send you the patasata :-) | 18:12 |
| mntmn | pasta! | 18:25 |

| isoriano_ | Good evening. | 20:27 |
| mntmn | hi isoriano_ | 20:33 |
| isoriano_ | How you doing guys? All good? | 20:41 |
| mntmn | today we finally got batch6+7 zz9000s | 20:55 |
| mntmn | after they were held for 1 month in customs | 20:55 |
| isoriano_ | Yeah, i have seen the posting on twitter .. unbelievable it took soo much time to clear customs. | 21:44 |
| isoriano_ | Batch 7? Awesome! Then my A4K will be happy :-) | 21:45 |
| mntmn | yeah it was double batch | 21:47 |
| mntmn | i think people who are ordering now are ordering batch 8 though, need to update the website | 21:47 |
| norly | mntmn, do you have any interesting stories about customs, i.e. why the cards were held, and whether there is a way to help them next time? | 21:47 |
| mntmn | to help ~them~?? | 21:48 |
| mntmn | they should better help ME! | 21:48 |
| norly | they should, but alas, that's how these things work sadly | 21:48 |
| norly | help them release the goods, that is. idk, did you have to provide some weird documentation, and maybe next time you can provide it upfront? any such lessons learned the hard way? | 21:48 |
| mntmn | this is batch 6/7, not 1 | 21:49 |
| isoriano_ | Cool .. I think I had one for B7. | 21:49 |
| mntmn | meaning, i did this a few times | 21:49 |
| norly | i mean - i suppose they got creative in new and unanticipated ways | 21:49 |
| mntmn | it is random | 21:49 |
| isoriano_ | That's customs! | 21:49 |
| norly | :( | 21:49 |
| mntmn | i did not send anything else than last time | 21:49 |
| mntmn | i think maybe DHL did a mistake at first | 21:50 |
| isoriano_ | They have to be like that .. | 21:50 |
| mntmn | by classifying as PCB | 21:50 |
| mntmn | but they were like, there are components on them so they're not PCBs, so what are they | 21:50 |
| mntmn | and i'm like, they are parts of products | 21:50 |
| norly | wtf | 21:50 |
| mntmn | etc etc | 21:50 |
| mntmn | what is the exact functions, do you have data sheets, do you have manuals, blablabla | 21:50 |
| norly | ok, so random mistake then. still, good to know this kind of situation exists. thanks, that's what i was asking for :) | 21:51 |
| mntmn | i even send schematics and BOM at first | 21:51 |
| mntmn | it was like 3 times back and forth with always at least a week of delay | 21:51 |
| norly | oh my did they ask you to strip!? | 21:51 |
| mntmn | and in the end this never costs any duty anyway | 21:51 |
| mntmn | only VAT that i get back | 21:51 |
| mntmn | so the whole process is completely useless | 21:51 |
| norly | agreed | 21:51 |
| mntmn | and they know that | 21:51 |
| mntmn | so... whatever. | 21:52 |
| mntmn | random acts of government | 21:52 |
| norly | thanks a lot, these random stories are useful | 21:52 |
| norly | real life experience that is hard to hear elsewhere | 21:52 |
| mntmn | alright | 21:52 |
| norly | and it can matter even with $5 orders from aliexpress, after all | 21:52 |
| norly | but yeah, it gets a lot more interesting when doing, say, a group PCB buy... | 21:53 |
| isoriano_ | the best thing is providing the wright customs tariff number | 21:54 |
| norly | oh, good to know | 21:56 |
| norly | yeah it's funny when they ask "what is this", "well, it does this, and that, and..." - "so it's X", "well..." | 21:57 |
| norly | is the ZZ9000 a graphics card, or a network card, or a USB card, or a RAM card, or a storage card, or... :D | 21:58 |
| isoriano_ | That one .. | 22:00 |
| mntmn | customs have very weird classifications. | 22:00 |
| mntmn | historically grown | 22:00 |
| mntmn | data entry machines or something | 22:00 |
| isoriano_ | 8473 30 80 | 22:01 |
| isoriano_ | or 8473 30 20 | 22:02 |
| isoriano_ | norly: mainboards (well in german it would be Baugruppen) without CPU | 22:16 |
| norly | isoriano_, interesting, thanks! | 22:33 |
