Yeah, I'll get one your way. Of course, I will need feedback and I offer no guarantees as of yet.

Can I at least buy one of the min64's off you and use it?

Well I am having some trouble. My C64c is not functioning so it may be awhile before I can get my hands on another.

If you shoot me a manifold STL that'll do just fine.


Great thanks.

Is that from oshpark? I didn't think they did fabrication, or do I not understand what fabrication is?

Yes, they are making the test boards before I get a 100 or so. It is not as fast as rumour has it but still faster than a Chinese fab. The are not populating the boards if that's what you thought.

Your boards are being made as you read this!

We've sent the panel containing your boards to the fabricator. We expect to get them back around June 13th.

In case you're interested, there are 87 other orders on the panel along with yours, adding up to a total of 447 boards. Neat eh?

Also, private message me if you want me to print something and send it to you. My printer's bed size is currently only 100mm cubed but I'm in the process of upgrading that right now, in case you need something larger. I can also print something in several parts for you to attach together with glue or friction welding.

I'll take you up in that offer. The board I did above would be even cooler with an enclosure. What files would you need? File extensions?

For those interested, here is what I came up with:

The board is a meer 1.05 inches deep and has notches for easy removal or mounting (granted a shell is designed). Measuring my own commodore, a board of 1.1875 inches would be flush with the chassis. Also has optional reset switch as suggested by catskull.

My main concern was supporting as many proms, eproms and eeproms as I could since too many are no longer made, but easy to find.
supported...
28F010, 28F020, 28F040,
29F010, 29F020, 29F040,
49F010, 49F020, 49F040
2764, 27128, 27256, 27512
27c64, 27c128, 27c256, 27c512

As well as SF's, GL's, EE's, etc.
Also working on support for 2704, 2708, 2716, and 2732. These will fit, but would require a few rerouted pins.

or read it again on my blog:P

Definitely interested in this. Let me know!

This is awesome too. Just ordered three of them. Thanks!

Pm me. I already have a board made.
