Hi guys,

so I was tired of waiting for fagear to finish his CSM replica (its 10 years now!), so I decided to start the project new from scratch and do it myself.
I had a different approach than him; I want to recreate the card as close to the original as possible (with all its flaws). Just compare my card to the original and you will see what I mean.
It took half a year and 2 non-working cards to get it running, but now it just works, everything from the AY8930 to the DAC and joysticks (although in sim city, the joystick doesent work, but I think thats an issue with the game, since it never even addresses the CSM if only joystick is configured).
The hardware is electrically almost identical (as far as it is possible to judge from images), all important chips are NOS original ones.
I had some PCBs and chips left over from the project, so I soldered 3 more.
Here I want to sell these three.
I do not intend to make any more (especially since some chips are very hard to obtain, especially in proven working condition ...), so this is the only opportunity (as long as fagear doesen't release his design).
Asking price is 380€ -> 330€ -> 290€ -> 260€ -> 240€ -> 220€ per piece + shipping.

Edit: Price drop!
