I'm totally interested in a $95 OMNIBUS memory
board, especially a
project by Vince S., but I won't use Amazon payments. :-/
I went to the trouble of setting up a Kickstarter, but when I went to
submit it for approval, it said I needed to set up Amazon payments,
and when I went to do that, it wanted my SSN and a whole bunch of
crap related to taxes, money laundering, etc. I won't be giving my
SSN to Amazon, so I won't be doing a Kickstarter.
Fortunately, there's a lot of interest in the boards, and I'm already
set up to take PayPal at this email. So, I've set up some PDF files at
http://svn.so-much-stuff.com/svn/trunk/Eagle/projects/32k-Omnibus/
Lafferty1sch.pdf is the schematic. Page 1 has the connections to the
Omnibus, page 2 has the RAM, page 3 has a timing diagram, and
pages 4 and 5 are the prototyping areas.
Lafferty1top.pdf and Lafferty1bot.pdf show views of the top and
bottom of the proposed boards, respectively. (The color schemes
in the PDF files are silly -- the actual boards should have gold edge
connectors, green solder mask, and white silkscreen.)
Anyway, my plan is to collect money through the end of the month,
then order the boards and the parts. I should get the boards
toward the end of next month, and be able to start sending stuff
out shortly after that. (I have sufficient funds that if PayPal gets its
knickers in a twist, I can pre-order the stuff and show the invoices
to get PayPal unstuck.)
