Can you confirm what the status is of this product? Various distributors are now listing it as EOL.

Is this really such a hard question to answer?

Hi Azizul

We are 99% sure at this stage it is EOL. Multiple distributors have told us they have received notification already.

Seems a shame to EOL it with no replacement!

Thanks
