Flopps: Okay, will do. I'll be doing more PCB processing today. These things are labor intensive. 
No mailing just yet.
One thing I think I need to bring up: The final piece of development work before finishing the beta units was to make some changes which will allow the addition of 32kb battery backed WRAM down the road without having to basically redesign the whole thing later. I was initially thinking that perhaps I'd delay beta once again for the 32kb add-on, but right now I'm thinking I can't justify that as the add-on is not yet tested and the extra labor and cost of the components would just be annoying at this stage.
So, keep in mind that the beta carts will not have 32kb WRAM installed, which means they will not run Pulsar or PR8. However, down the road I'd like to develop a cartridge which will have a 32kb WRAM and possibly make available an upgrade service.
Also worth noting for people who didn't make beta: the beta design and code will be released for non-commercial use, and you won't have to wait until after beta to try it out. In fact, the "beta" is quite stable and very usable at this point, and once I have the first batch done I am willing to consider making more of the same design if people so desire, though I will possibly have to raise the price to accommodate for the labor. More news to come on that.
Finally, a few people have asked why development kinda lagged for the past two months. In the interest of maintaining an open development attitude, I'll tell you. Blargg and I had been going at the project for nearly 2 months, and about midway through December we were both getting burned out. We decided to take a time out for the holiday season, and getting going again in February was difficult for a number of reasons. I had gotten myself involved in some other side work in addition to my day job and needed to get that wrapped up before I could get back on the cartridge project. So hopefully now that everything is in order I can regain focus and get stuff done.
