It has been superseded by the ICEPOD 6.5, now in production.

ICE-UDP-r5

End-of-Life (EOL) has been announced for the ICE-UDP-r5 I/O module. After 30 December 2011, the ICE-UDP-r5 will no longer be available (EOA) because the critical parts are obsolete. Software maintenance and RMA support (EOS) will be available through at least 30 December 2013.

It has been superseded by the ICE-UDP-r6.

ICE-PIC4

ICE announces End-Of-Life (EOL) for all ICE-PIC4 series cards and associated I/O modules.

Innovative Computer Engineering will discontinue sale (EOA) of the ICE-PIC4 series of cards and associated I/O modules effective 30 September 2010. Software support (EOS) for the product line will be provided through at least September of 2012.

This announcement includes ICE-PIC4T, ICE-PIC4X, ICE-A2D-r4, ICE-A2D-r6, ICE-A2D-r7, ICE-D2A-r2, and certain digital I/O modules. This announcement is the result of critical component obsolescence and a significant decrease in the number of available PCI-based platforms.

ICE appreciates the strong customer interest in the ICE-PIC4 product line over the past seven years. ICE will continue to sell and support its successors, the ICE-PIC5 product line, ICE-PIC6 product line, and all their associated I/O modules.

For specific information on the ICE-PIC product lines, please visit the DSP cards page or I/O modules page on the ICE web site. For any other questions please contact ICE directly.

ICE-DTDM/X

As of 28 April 2011 ICE will discontinue the sale (EOA) of the ICE-DTDM and ICE-DTDMX. Software support (EOS) for these two items will continue through 2013. This is a result of critical component obsolescence.

ICE has announced the ICE-V6M processing module as a replacement.
