I saw small article about it in the the latest EW email newsletter- Pretty sad. Looks like its for sure, they are laying off some folks and moving the operation.

I've been told Component Source was taking over parts. Not sure about tech support though. I've always liked working with Swift products. Hope their support remains.

It will be intersting to see what happens on all their product. They had just tackled the problem of obsolete GE300 drives by replacing them with DSD 412's. The change did require a specialized DAR board from them.

Their wizard software was the cat's meow as well. Loved the error code trigger and I/O capture feature. Best thing I saw out there for intermittant faults.

I talked to Swift tech support today. I was told the operation is moving to Tennessee. Parts will go through Thyssen and tech support will still be available.

Are they still going to be building controllers or are they just going to provide parts and support?

Hi, does any one have their tech support number. The one that I call has a busy tone.
