I know a lot of people who build electronical shit on their bedrooms and when theres trouble they just post OI, THERES TROUBLE, and offer refunds to those who cant wait.

I really want to give Furrtek my simpathy, but ive spent this evening trying to sync the GB303 with no sucess. So, its difficult.

Hey, people are different. I'm pretty sure I'd have a hard time replying if I came to this forum and saw people saying I'm an asshole because they didn't receive their product the day after I announced it, or that the first revision didn't work perfectly. I mean no disrespect, but threads like this and the one about GenMDM have put me off the idea of selling any electronic projects I create..

Indeed.

The outputs of a profound are very low, but easier to amplify than the headphone outs. I do suggest that you connect the wires pre-pot rather than post-pot. If you have "a recording interface" you should be perfectly capable of controlling volume like that. The pot just adds some sketcky resistance to your audio, even at "max" volume.

Pretty sure that is not a user fix. You'll find that in every nes.

Let me elaborate: you should have zero confidence in a developer who sells you a product that can't even achieve proper tuning:

Thanks for posting that. I didn't see it before.
Looks like an easy fix, but probably not for the everyday user. Still a pretty unforgivable mistake.

Pretty sure a second printing was garenteed ages ago, but idk if there were any changes.

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?

Can you link me to an example?

I don't know of one that already exists but the arduino should be more than capable of doing it.

EDIT: Another inexpensive option is a PCIe card:

I cannot vouch for this card, but I have one similar. Works a charm with my Willem progger. 

...frankly it works better than the Willem, but that is besides the point. tongue

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.

I'm all for DIY but just wanted to make sure everyone knows plenty of these are available (other colors as well): http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Commodore-6 … 25a5ff8acf

I have one and quality is pretty nice, good texture and feels solid.

I'd kind of be interested in making up some PCB's that are as short as possible (maybe even designed to be left in the console). They would just have the edge connector and eprom socket. Would there be any interest in that?

Pm me. I already have a board made.

It might be...
