It seems Varisys had problems obtaining some of the parts:

That's an interesting read overall as it seems to indicate that sourcing of the parts (including the PA6T) is done by Varisys, not by A-Eon, which effectively makes Varisys A-Eon's CPU supplier. On the other hand, that would mean that Varisys lied to you, and that Dickinson lied to us several times.
