Hutton is telling us they have discontinued getting this product, and will no longer be available. Is this just Hutton I hope??? Why???

With the 493AH out there at such a small premium in price, Id bet they werent selling many 433AHs anymore. I used to use 450Gs and 433AHs, now I use mostly 493AHs and some 450gs.

Streakwave is showing these RB/433AH at a cheaper price than the RB/493AH. What’s the difference? They took out 1 Mini-PCI slot and added a few more ethernet ports (which I don’t use anyway)?

493AH does not have voltage monitoring and sdcard support, also the board is longer and ports on a “wrong side” for some applications

Unfortunately that’s not quite true.

The RB493AH has a micoSD slot. It’s also possible to monitor the voltage.

None of RB493AH I have do that and MT specs don’t list those features either:

Here’s a shot from Dude for a 493 showing the voltage, amongst other things.

I actually need to thank you. Tomorrow first thing I need to replace the power supply on this unit. As you can see, it’s on its’ way out. Thank you for getting me to check on this.

Weird. None of my 493AHs have thermal or voltage.

number of miniPCI cards is the same. The only difference is more ethernet ports.
and no - the RB433AH is not discontinued and there are no plans for that.
