Franck, switcher received!
My Friend, you produce a very very good Quality;-) The soldered Points are made like from Machine, very clean. The Switcher works here like a Charm.
You Isolated all Points underside for Installation, you made really much thoughts to that concept.
WELL DONE! Congratulations.... Can recommend that Switcher to all what are interested. Best Switcher for Amiga on Market now.

Hi my friend!
I'm really glad to hear that you have received your switcher, and that it works fine onto your Amiga!
I try to make good soldering.
When the components are soldered, I clean the boards into an ultrasonic cleaner. The result is really impressive!Thanks a lot for your comments.
Best regards,
Franck

Just to update: Plugged it in today with my v2 and v1.3 (will order a 3.1 soon) - worked fantastic - loved the light and got it down by the expansion port so I can see whats going on.. It's also compatible with the ACA500 plugged (meaning it doesn't interfere)..
your PDF could do with an update as I had to gamble with a few things (plugging the main connection into the rom socket made me nervous)
) and I'm still a little confused with the jumpers as the docs don't match it! 
Great product though,
Cheers Alan

Mine arrived last week, and this weekend I installed it. The KS1.2 ROM worked fine, but the 2.04 just gave a red screen on my A500 rev5. Tuxbar81 said I should put the 2.04 into the KS1 slot where there's a jumper to choose rev3/5 vs. newer motherboard versions, and put the KS1.2 into the KS3 slot and make sure both KS3 jumpers are in their default positions. After that it worked great. Thanks! Feedback left.

Hello everybody,
I wanted to give some informations. As you certainly know, I have added a mod onto the switcher for allowing a use onto all revisions of Amiga.
As this mod is not needed onto the switcher for the Amiga 1000, all the PCBs of the actual revision of the switcher will be used for his one.
I have made a new design of the switcher which includes this mod. I'm now waiting for the PCB from the manufacturer. I'll let you know as soon as I'll receive them.
I'm sorry for the late, but I prefer to provide a PCB which includes all functionnalities.
Best regards,
Franck.

Some news: I have received the PCBs of the last design which includes the mods for running onto all rev of A500 & A500+.
I'll have no time until the end of the month for working onto the assembling since I'm working onto a big project.
I'll begin the assembling at the begining of September. I'll have all the time I need for spending more time onto the switchers.
Here a picture of the PCBs:
