reposting in the Rohan thread...

Further, as of this date the "www.mansell-labs.com" web address will take you to a general site with search links. The page information (that shows up on the MS Window header) says its a "Cash advance|Debt Consolidation|Cellphone|(etc).." site. That gives us the obvious indication of where this situation may have gone but who knows. I wouldn't bother with clicking the "Why am I seeing this?" link, it'll probably lead you to the host or a spammer's email. For now, its uncertain if Rohan or Vailixi 3.50 will ever return. I recommend that the forum moderators disable the Mansell-labs URL links in postings throughout the site.

I just scored second hand set of OFFICIAL 3.5os Eproms from someone who's 3000 has stopped working. was a financial stretch but thought I should buy while I had the chance.

Nice....unfortunately, we'll all be stripping meat off cats soon like zombies stuck in an alley.

save me some of that cat meat - I couldn't really afford the OS when I bought it and now the fridge is kinda empty!

just checked - its back on.
was it offline? i've missed out on the news?

Nice. Seems some activity has taken place on the domain if you run a whois on it.

Updated Date: 15-Feb-2012

Creation Date: 11-Feb-2006

Renewal takes place every year on 11th feb. Dunno why it would take 4 days if the account was in auto renewal (most probable in the case of a business website).

Might be a DNS issue (propagation), but even so that's only a consequence to a manual input of some kind.

installed today - seems to work well, tested out some hybrid partitions and editing sound while sequence playing etc all good.

stuck with another person's name on it, but can live with that.

great , happy for you
any other features that justify purchase for you?
how much did you pay for it?
i am looking for one too

I paid original purchase price - new features def wroth it although its obviously a fantastic machine with 3.11os too...

I think upgrades do make a big difference to your standard 2nd hand 3000

@ seed:

so there was no problem with the serial number. when i orderd mine from rohan, he asked me for my serial number of my mpc... i thought this way you could only use the chips for one mpc...
