Anything worth doing is hardly ever easy. And as far as I'm concerned, usually worth waiting for. I've been impressed by the level of dedication team KB has shown in my experience with y'all. The fact that you're making this product at all is a huge deal, (to me at least). Thanks dude(s).

so, i decided that instead of releasing the project as i'd like at first it'd be best to get a basic version (same functionality as the original LCD board, not much more) out now, and then build upon that rather than the other way around.  besides, i think most people would be in for the basic version anyways.

so, that is whats going on with those.  at this very moment I've got the latest revision being assembled right now and it should be straightforward tbh.  its not nearly as difficult at this point, and this aspect I've gotten working before easily it was mainly the video out that was giving me the headache.  so, all-in-all, it will be just like before...  there will be multiple variations and prices depending on the features, but rather than have them released all at the outset like I've been intending, I'll be releasing them as new-improved versions but still make/support the basic varieties.  in the end, there will be the exact same products in the shop.  just sooner and staggered, not later and all-at-once.  this also decreases the support/etc load, because the basic version won't do much more than work or not work, and the install is obvious. 

sorry about all the delays.  its annoying to me much more than it is to you, believe me...  i want nothing more to get these wrapped up!

I'll keep my eyes peeled anyway, in case kitsch comes out with a modern replacement.

Cancer is the black spots on the LCD where the liquid crystals have broken loose. It's called cancer because it can't be fixed and usually spreads over time.

I also read some time ago that Kitsch was working on a screen replacement but I can't find the thread anymore.

Is it, as I think, unfixable?

Thanks
