Maybe interested in both lumafix and joystick switcher. What is the postage to Germany.

I will skip on the expander, it needs gold plated connectors.
 
Shipping to Germany: €9 for two items.

Anyway you suggested gold plated connectors sounds not bad... The next batch maybe with gold plated conns, hope not with huge price.

Please PM me if you want the items. Thank you.
 
Interested in a LUMAFIX64. Postage to Denmark?

How about 1xExpansion port adapter and 1xLumafix64 shipped to Denmark? Is that also €8 shipping?

Has it been tested whether the expansion port adapter works with a 1541 Ultimate-II cartridge? I know that it is timing critical, particularly the kernel replacement function and even a short extender might cause problems.

They are seriously cool and well made Keyboard brackets! (The yellow ones in the second picture). They even have embedded metal threads! Where did you get them from?

Bryce.
 
Two items shipping cost to Denmark: €9
Please PM me if you still want to buy it.

Tested with many cartridges ago, but not yet with 1541 Ultimate. Anyway still waiting for my own at Gideon... I think its fully usable, cause every pin just extended to the angled port at the top. Hope this helps.

The yellow brackets made by COREi64 for me. you can find him here: https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?79623-64c-Keyboard-Brackets-Now-for-sale!

But I can sell for you mine, I would like to replace to the original metal pair. PM me!

The problem can happen due to minor timing issues and the extension alone (combined with line capacitance) might skew the signals enough to cause problems. The kernal replacement function is basically a hack which is why it is so sensitive to even small variations. I wanted it mainly for the 1541U-II, so I will think about whether I want to try it out..
 
Thanks for the hints! Will let you once arrived and already tested my Ultimate II+!

Oh, Gideon, where are you? :)

Items received very well packed! Joy-switcher tested and looks very nice, I need more time to play with lumafix. Positive feedback left.
