I don't get this passage. Note I am not a hardware expert so it is not
clear to me how 200 boards can be available in november if a redesign
with a new display takes nearly half a year.

Where are 130+ displays supposed to materialze until november? I
understand your assumption that there is some stock somewhere and would
love to see that proven with a reliable price tag.
