[Soekris] net48xx EOL?

[Frank Cole]

Hi Mike,

AMD retooled the fab that made the SC11xx processors to make way for 
something else.

It will eventually affect the 4801/4826 line but I think there are 
enough SC1100s still out in the manufacturing bins and warehouses (aka 
"the grey market") to keep things going for at least a couple of more years.

As for Soekris' production plans, thats anybody's guess but if they 
stick to their history, they'll be spinning 48xx's till people stop 
buying them.  Look at the 45xx line as an example.  The Elan 520's EOL'd 
like 4 years ago and that line is still going strong.

Hope it helps...

Frank
