VSD-E becomes discontinued now because the assembly house where it’s used to be manufactured no longer provides the manufacturing service. Moving it to new location would have caused quite a lot work so we saw it wiser to use that time to make new and throughly improved drives to fill the void.

ION also is very robust thing; all I/O protected from ESD, outputs protected from short circuits etc.

We don’t want to be strict about warranty. When drive (not just Ion) is damaged by user mistake, we consider replacements case by case. In most cases we give a new drive or grant very significant discount for replacements.

I voted for through hole components, but in fact unless there were few parts required I’d much rather have a ready made board, and more so if there’s a chance of damaging the drive. If the user made a mistake, could they void the warranty of the attached ION drive?

Regards,

Jason

In this poll, the point is missing, if you ever at a DIY project
is interested. I for one wish a finished “GRANITE” – product
with “GRANITE – guarantee”. By the way: The aspect, to construct ION very small is a secondary aspect. I think that it is important ION absolutely robust
and perhaps also to make inexpensive. I want to be honest: I’ve never
understood the meaning of ION. Why must VSD-XE Evolution / DualDC
die? Could not live VSD-XE with an update?
Best regards from Herford.
