I just read the transcript from FRIDAY's RTC on GEnie (With Bob Brodie).

He said the sub-contractor has not been meeting the Q/A or production
requirements. 

"The number of the machines coming from this factory that have fail
diagnostic tests is completely unacceptable to Sam. He is _angry_ about
this, as producing Atari Falcon030s is a paramount importance to us."

He said there was going to be a meeting this monday with the factory do
discuss the problems.

He is meeting with other sub-contractors so the can produce the
FALCON030's in parallel with the "failing" factory. 

Because of  this, don't expect significant shipments until MARCH when
the planned mass advertising campaign is suppost to be launched.
