For those of us who have recently purchased a new PTR1, will our models
continue to receive support and software upgrades, or, have we purchased
something that will soon be out of date?

Hello listeners,
Today, Plextor release following notice at our site http://www.plextalk.com regarding discontinuation of PTR1 and introduction of PTR2.
--Quote-- From PTR1 to PTR2
Thank you for your sincere support to our product.
We are sorry to inform that the sales of PTR1 will be end when the current stock runs out. However the service and repair will be continued.
In Europe, from July 1, 2006, a new environmental regulation called ROHS will be introduced. (ROHS: The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment directive)
In this directive, no lead contained material or components must be used in the equipment or devise. We have contacted parts suppliers to keep the current PTR1, but no alternative parts were found. As a result, the design of PTR1 must be changed.
The follow-up model called PTR2 complying with RoHS will be released before the end of 2005 and the product details will be announced around the end of September.

Regarding the software upgrade of PTR1, we do apologize that we have not release it recently. Unfortunately, no new version-up software will be released within 2005. When the date of new software release becomes available, the announcement will be made on our web site. Thanks for your continuous support of our products.
