Hi everyone!

I'm going to do a PCB run of the Final Cartridge III+ design created by e5frog. The PCBs will be $5.50 each ($5 each if using PayPal Gift) and Full Kits will be $21.00 each ($20 each if using PayPal Gift) + shipping.

If I get pre-orders for at least 20 PCBs then the PCBs will be done with a red solder mask, otherwise they will be green. *UPDATE* Plenty of orders for the red PCBs.

Please let me know if you are interested in a full kit or just the PCB. The cost of full kits will ultimately depend on how many people want kits. I'm not doing this for profit, but I really don't want to lose money on it either.

Thanks!

Heather

*UPDATE* The cost for anyone expressing interest in a kit after 11/7/14 needs to add an additional $1 to the price of the kit. I ran out of EEPROMs from my initial order and this increase in cost is to cover the higher price of the chip since I need to buy in a smaller quantity. This increase does not affect anyone who had previously ordered a kit.

PCB prices have not changed.

Hi Heather,

this sounds like a great idea, could you mention what parts are needed to build this with just the circuit board or what will be in the kit as parts and will there be a blank eprom with the bin file or a programmed eprom etc. I haven't done any research for this as I only just read your thread today so please forgive the rough way i've asked about it.

I know that these come up now and then and are very popular so these new ones should go pretty fast, you can put me down for 2 PCBs which I may change to kit once I find what is needed (now changed to 2 full kits instead of just PCBs)

Cheers,
Allen :)

If doing a kit, I can help with EEPROM programming if you need it.

I realized I didn't answer your question. With the kits, I will provide the EPROMs and can program them if you don't have a programmer. I'll also provide a link to the file.

I forgot to mention in my first post that this is using an updated ROM version that's not in the original FC-III cartridges. I'll pull together a list of what's new in a bit.

Here's a look at the PCB in red.



Thanks everyone!

Heather
 
Cheers Heather,

could you make that 2 full kits instead of just the PCBs please, it will save me hunting for the parts when i get round to building them ;)

I have a programmer so the updated bin file would be much appreciated :)

Thanks,
Allen :)
 
I'll take 2 kits pending final price and with eprom programing
thanks Heather..(y)
 
Also interested on a kit if it can be shipped to TC and he has time. Go nice with my SD2IEC C64
 
Wow! That's pushed us over the 20 board goal so it will be red PCBs! I'll start pricing parts tomorrow for the kits and hopefully have a price for everyone.

Heather
 
One kit here please, Heather. :)
 
Actually make it 2 kits for me and pls send sir_beakers kit direct to me as well

Cheers Hon
;)
