Any left? I would take enough to make two units.

I put you in the waiting list.
I'm waiting for the payment of some people in the booking list... I'll wait some more days and then I move to people in the waiting list.
 
Shipped to
OXCOM

People that declared interest (see the booking list in the first post) that still have to pay should contact me asap as I'll keep your booking until september the 28th.
 
For the North Americans, if anyone wants to start a Digikey order list like this, that would be good. I doubt they are going to have the 060 socket though.

OMG, that simplifies the task by about a billion times! I was just starting the digikey part hunt and here you come with the list. :D

edit: Actually I think we are still missing a few items here, let's see...

edit2: I think what is missing above is the resistor pack, I believe part 770-81-R4.7KP-ND should be suitable. I am also not sure if the pin strip is necessary, it would appear so, but I am having trouble locating an adequate one on digikey.

You can get 68040 & 68060 sockets on ebay and most likely pin strips as well

I thought the idea was that yeah you can use 68040 and 68060 sockets the recommended idea was to use the SIL strips and make up your own socket. Sort of like what Castellen or Anthony Hoffman suggests for the Cyberstorm MK-III 68060 socket repair: http://amiga.serveftp.net/Cyberstorm_socket.html I'm probably misunderstanding but I thought there were two reasons for this, aren't we supposed to not connect up certain pins between the 060 board and the 040 board? Also since we need to put SIL pins in the top and bottom board to mate together and if you put an 040 socket on the lower board you still probably need the SIL socket since the 040 socket pins aren't necessarily going to be long enough to go through the lower board and into the 040 socket of the A3640/Warpengine/whatever. I figure it's going to be at least a week till my boards show up so I haven't gone through the fine details of what all I need yet. Tried looking for a ZIF 060 socket anyway, they say they exist but haven't found one yet.

I've understood from the assembly instructions that you need three sockets worth of SIL strips for the adapters, the mid layer is supposed to prevent some of the 060 pins from getting in contact with the 040 socket. Mozart at a1k.org used single pin sockets for the 040 board and SIL strips for the mid layer and 060 board. Could you simply use SIL strips for all the layers?
