That is correct; The project doesn't make a lot of sense because the devices cost a lot of money to customers, require a lot of time to assemble, and don't make me a profit big enough to make it worth my time.
Or is this some BS attempt to scam people?!
No, it is not. I will not reveal any absolute numbers, but everybody who paid for their order received their device. He haven't had any complaints, troubles or even questions, which is surprising because the installation procedure does require some assembly. To customers have accidentally purchased this device for a Model 60 box, which it does not support. Both of them were offered a refund, only one customer took it. The other sold the devices successfully on eBay, right after the day we shipped our last unit.
I ask this because I see a bunch of people "received" their purchase
They cost a lot of money, so I understand people don't feel the need to express their enthusiasm after receiving what they've paid for, for a device that does what is promised.
but I have 2 emails from you stating that you are PERMANENTLY OUT OF STOCK - and not producing any more.
Listen, I understand your frustration, but I really don't see your problem.
This is just a small project, developed by a guy (= me) who was curious to see if he could bypass the new cartridge chip. So I first rewrote the whole internal Model 120 from scratch and called the project CatGenius, hence my nickname (not because I think I'm a genius). Many people turned out to be interested, but reprogramming a CatGenie isn't exactly suitable for everybody, so I though out an alternative. That turned out to be CartridgeGenius. I sold a couple, to earn back the expensive soldering tools I had to buy.
CatGenius firmware is now available to everybody, and it's free. I'm not allowed to post URLs here, but it's now an Open Source Google Code project, so I'm sure those interested will be able to find it.
CartridgeGenius devices are out of stock and will no longer be produced until I decide otherwise. I'm looking for alternatives so I can sell them at a more affordable price. If I cannot find any, I will make CartridgeGenius Open Source too, diagrams and all.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A SCAM. I want to see feedback
There's no need to shout; We're not deaf here. And we all want something.
