Quick update:
- We're testing the final candidate boards. They work but we need to make sure our installation instructions are clear, correct, and concise.
- It is a single-board solution (not two as previously mentioned), but there will be both a 250407 and a 250425/250466 version of the board. This accommodates the different location of the jumpers, crystals, and VIC-II sockets between the two motherboards.
- Doesn't fit in a 64c-style case at this time. Sorry. Not a lot of head room, so breadbin cases only for now.
- Doesn't require a case mod. The switch can be trailed out the RF channel switch hole without interrupting it's function.
- Only switches modes AFTER power is turned off, and you can keep it in whichever "default" mode you want. BUT, you must power off. A soft reset won't do it (latching relays).
Still want to see the instructions and why you are desoldering so much stuff on the board. Did you mess with the clock? I didn't seem to think you need to desolder anything but the crystal.

Update: We have 3 spots remaining on the beta. Application link in the first post. We provide the PCB free of charge. Thanks and good luck!

Any chance of a more thorough test video showing various Pal/Ntsc titles? Also think it would be a good idea to design/release a new case badge to identify C64 VIC-II² machines.
