@all

I have not had any more made, but since there seems to be interest, I will try to organise something soon :) I'll order a bigger batch this time so there is no need to start queuing.

Out of interest, how did these come up at the Play Expo?

Johnim used one to transfer games via my laptop onto a genuine 1541 for my Plus 4. it worked really well, I was really impressed by it and hence I want a couple for keeping my Commodores working at the shows.
 
I have 9 pcb's of those. If ajk can't do it for you guys, maybe these one could do. I have the USB and serial connectors too. I would keep one so 8 could go.

This is relevant to my interests; please subscribe me to your newsletter. :)
 
I don't want to hijack ajk's project. i did not see that he had already responded to your request.
 
@everyone

I've ordered a new, larger batch of the boards and parts now. Will probably take a couple of weeks to get everything. Feel free to post your interest in the thread again, no need to PM yet, I will contact everyone when it's time.

For those of you who are in a hurry, go ahead and contact CUF85 while he still has boards :)
 
@fatbob_gb

Noted! Can you (and everyone) also specify if you want a completed device, kit, or bare PCB so I have some idea of how to organise things.
 
One complete device here please!
 
Wow, lots of activity here :) Interest noted from all you guys so far, thanks!
 
Yes, it's a bit like the old XTree Gold or Norton Commander, in that you list the items (PRG, d64 etc.) in the right-hand window and apply an action to the right hand window, e,g. copy file, format disk, write image to disk etc. and vice versa. We used it to write Plus 4 games in PRG format to a 5.25" disk to get Elite running on a Plus 4 at Play Expo.

I think it's called CBMXfer, this looks like it. Johnim will be able to tell you.
