What an absolute ****ing fiasco this thread is. I responded 3 times via pm and e-mail, and I'm still non the wiser. Now you say you have to respond to this thread after #53 posts have gone by ?? :thumbsdown:

Arnie, This thread has nothing to do with the Vampire thread which is up to thread #53. This thread is a different entity, i have your order slated to go this weekend if you are still interested. I am trying to get everything done as quickly as possible. As you could probably imagine, these boards take time to build and test so time is of a premium. I could have elected to get these assembled in a board house but that would have increased the cost by about $25 each (factoring cost, increased value at customs, extra delivery costs etc.

The orders i am receiving for this board are all completed on time basis, using FIFO system. Please don't forget that i am receiving orders from other places besides Amibay.

Time for a bit of news. I now have new version boards that have the missing trace back in, - No wire jumper)....

options for people are new

- board $74 + $4 for CPU adapter
- board with jumper wire AND CPU adapter is $74


I plan on having 10 more boards ready for mailing this week. One more thing, when i send out pms for people who have declared interest i have to wait for a response, A lot of people have not responded to my PM's so i have to hold their board for a few days to see if they respond before moving down the list.

Hi Kipper,

When is my turn? I would like to purchase one of your IDE-CF adapters for the A1200 as well, cheers!

Kipper, you are doing a fantastic job with these boards and the Vampire boards. Keep up the good work. I have been holding off declaring interest in both, just too many other projects on the go at the moment. No doubt I will catch up with stuff over the holidays, just remember to have a bit of a break yourself... :drinkin:

Maybe it would be a good idea to make a list in post #1 with all the names on the list, and then update it as you go through it. That way there will be NO confusion as to weather a person have been noticed & included on the waiting list, and as to where you/they are on the list.

???

for those interested, the approx time to build for these boards are as follows, assuming that once built they work first time

Vampire 1 hour. (if there's a bug, it can take a few hours to find)
a508/IDE - 50 minutes
a608 - 70 minutes
CF IDE boards - 15 minutes

I am still behind on some SVideo boards. so if anyone is interested in a kit rather than prebuilt svideo boards i am willing to sell the parts. It is not a difficult build. there is only one tiny Tsop that i can presolder for those that want. (it controls the LED for PAL/NTSC indication, not even needed )

Interest withdrawn for now.

It's a very good kit, but after well over a month of waiting, I still have no idea where I'm in the queue, and when would my board be delivered.

I might buy one later when things slow down for kipper2k.

The problem with a public list is that there are people that do not want to be identified who have emailed me. I don't think Amigakit or Jens would publish a list. I will say i have received over 125 preorders and i am working through it. I do not buy all the parts at once as i get quite a few cancellations of interest and i can get stuck with left over parts.

What i can do is to start updating the thread once i send out a batch is to identify the dates of all preorders completed, that way if i forget someone (which i probably will) they can send me an email saying i missed them and I will sort them there and then.. I really hate administration, it can take the entire day to keep it pretty so i rely on people to nudge me every now and again, thats fine.

I think people would be satisfied with just some updates as to how far you have made it through this thread (as I assume they will be dealt with in order), well aware that there may be lots of orders from other places. That would give people an idea whether they are just coming up on the list or have 3 more months of waiting. :)

I doubt anyone on this thread at Amibay would not want to identified. As for the other (email or whatever) orders you could just list them as "External Order #15" or similar, this way Amibayers would see how many boards down the list they are.

Nobody likes administration but you only need to do this once, and then it helps you as well to know your queue. Then you just add people as they post on this thread. I mean you are semi-pro at this so I think it's fair to expect that you give at least a delivery estimate. And it's a bit unfair to expect people check weather they've been missed in the list since they don't even know where they are.

We are all (including me) grateful you are making these wonderful hw for us, all is needed is a simple list to know if someone is No. 5 or No. 120 in the queue..

People just need to be patient or just not declare interest at all :thumbsdown:

A little bit of understanding please .. it's not like the guy is getting rich doing this.

We should be happy he is doing this for us, the same goes for others who develop and make stuff for us in their free time, :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: to Kipper and everyone else who develop stuff for us.
