This is a pre-sale feeler thread only. I built this to use my ACA500+ with my 1000. The first 10 of these were built by me and sold for nearly cost to build ($45 USD) and were very well received through the Facebook Amiga group. I am thinking of taking in some pre-orders for to do another batch of 10 or more depending on the interest I receive in this thread. The cost is my issue. Shipping in the US is easy and is only $8 in a small flat rate USPS box. To Europe cost me about $18 at first class in a small box with enough protection. The 86 pin edge connectors much be bought in advance and require me to pay for 10 minimum at a time and are $10 each.
What would be fair to you for these? $45 assembled isnt enough I feel to make it worth the time it takes but I dont want it looking like I am being greedy as well.
Breakdown of the cost is as follows:
86 pin connector $10 each,
Header pins, $2 each (need 4)
6 pin IDC cables $5 each to build,
40 pin IDC cables $5.25 each to build (Uses 2),
Circuit boards $94 for a batch of 20
My Time to build cables, solder headers and edge connectors is about 2 hours.
