1541-III group buy?

I'd be interested in one or two blank boards, myself, if there's a group-buy on 1541-III-DTVs (I have a couple of DTVs and a few Hummers), but since I also have a stable of desktop C= hardware, I'd also be very much interested in a 1541-III w/LCD. I'd definitely buy a blank board for one of those. I have a well-stocked parts bin, so I'd be more interested in a CPU/regulator/PCB kit than a 100% bag-o-parts on either project. Coincidentally enough, just yesterday, I was asking a list member about any IEEE-488 FLASH drives, since the 1541-III is IEC. I don't know that anyone has ever done one, and given the abundance of C= IEC-based machines over C= IEEE-488-based machines, perhaps what is called for is a new project, a C=-friendly IEEE<->IEC "serializer/deserializer" (since the byte-level protocol is the same). In any case, I _am_ interested in IEC FLASH drives. I build several kits a year, so if there are bare boards to be had, I will be interested in one or two of anything that comes out of these discussions. I would have bought a 1541-III-DTV earlier this year if I'd noticed that there were preliminary kits available. -ethan
