It would be nice to think they did.
Before Amigakit got their hands on the NOS A1200 stock, it was owned by Eyetech.
I bought an AT/Escom A1200 fitted with a Rev 2B motherboard in 2000, but it didn't have the timing fixes done.
Some time later, I bought a set of Workbench 2.1 floppies from them. Enclosed were details of their A1200 revision 1-D-4 and 2B modification service, designed to bring these motherboards up to revision 1-D-1 (the most stable) specification.
The same machine demonstrated another example of Eyetech's "marketing strategy". It came fitted with a 4-way buffered IDE interface, the usual 2½-inch internal IDE hard drive and an external IDE CD-ROM port mounted behind the PCMCIA slot.
To make use of this feature, however, required the IDEFix'97 software - which, intentionally, was not included.
I was not surprised when I heard that Eyetech had gone into liquidation.
