Hey David: It was my understanding that the new XT's with the latest motherboard do require .029 - at least that is what I believe I was told while I was at tech training a few weeks ago in Denver. That you cannot run the new "17" board without the latest OS. But if I am wrong - maybe Jeff from Melco can clarify - but it's right in my notes. On the updates, the 6 month rule may be "general", but it's not always the case. Again - this is something we went over in tech training on day one (who is eligible for what). For example. 5.07.056 was the last version 5 of the OS produced. All users running previous versions can upgrade to that level 5 version for free. In fact, anyone running a previous version of 5 should call to request it. My guess is that the 6 month thing is referring to a "major" version update. It's best to call your rep or melco direct and ask.

XT's with the new mother board require V7 OS but not necessarily V 7.00.029 As Melco's agent we are advised that upgrades are for software which is no more than 6 months old, it is then up to us to distribute to our individual customers. Hope this clears up our earlier email. Cheers David Anderson Keband Australasia Pty. Ltd. 18 Daphne Cres, Hurstbridge.

The Amaya XT's require a minimum version of the OS. XT's shipping with the new motherboard require another version (I believe it's the most recent...7.00.029). We have posted that information on the amayausers.com website (upper right corner) and also try to post version update numbers as they come out as well. Also, the 6 month rule isn't quite accurate either. Call Melco, give them your OS version and they can tell you if you are eligible for an upgrade. It is definitely true though that the older machines benefit from the improvements to the OS :) John -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Anderson - Keband A'Asia Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 7:06 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: AmayaOS updates Jim, If there is an upgrade within 6 months of your purchase Melco will provide it for you. Otherwise you can upgrade by purchasing the upgrade as required. As for 3 y.o. AMAYA's running new software, yes all AMAYA OS levels are suitable for all AMAYA's made. We have customers with the machines from the first lot made and they run better with version 7 software than the original software they had been supplied with. Cheers.

What about a 3 year old Amaya...can it use the newer OS? I ask because Melco never informs me about updates, so I'm not sure what the procedure is...
