I am very interested, I will purchase at least one as soon as available. Thanks!!

Put me down for a drive as well, please. Thanks!

Billy, can you provide model #'s that will soon be available? I'd prefer an internal, but will be happy with an external drive as well. Thanks for everything.

I believe he only has the external XD08's.

I was hoping that some of the upper end units would still be available. If not, oh well. Just want to get my hands on one drive for a dead drive that I have and hopefully one more for a backup, but two may be asking for to much.

I am interested in one of these drives as well. Thank you Billycar11.

I'll definitely buy one too once available!

Interested in getting one as well.

Following up. Not sure how to place my order, but would like to order asap.

Thanks

Unfortunately, Billy hasn't announced he is ready to take orders for his latest batch. He does have to flash them, and I don't believe these are a simple flash as the vendor has locked out the ability to down grade the firmware from the average customer.

Via an email I had with him, it doesn't sound like he's taking pre-orders or any sort of list of buyers. He has advised people to follow this post or his post on Reddit. He'll probably update the original post in this topic (and maybe add a new reply) when he's ready to take orders.

My advice is to not waste time replying here with "add me to the list / I'm interested" etc and just keep an eye for him to reply or update the original post.

100% interested when your pioneers drive are available!
Count me in! (us resident with in the 49 states)

Great news! Are you willing to share which model numbers you are working on?

only xd08 converted to XD08UMBS

I've got an xd08, I would be interested in a cross-flash at some point! If possible!

Ah understood. Well, I am not in a desperate need for it. I have three Pios from you, and I just got support from the updated SDF for a few other drives. If a need arises, I will email you to discuss options, if you even have the interest at that point. Thanks!
