A phonecall really is the best option since you can get all your questions answered there and then and you may even be able to place your order there and then.
I'm curious about this, even though we are getting our hardware on this side of the pond.
Its a situation that baffles me, but since I'm not likely to order from AmigaKit, when I can buy it from a vendor here, I'm not going to call Matt's people and bug them about it.
SO...if anyone hears an explanation for this, please post it.
