It uses the same firmware as the larger board, but it supports SD only and is designed for embedding into designs. It's $50.00. Hopefully, 20 units will be available at World of COmmodore this weekend, and 100 more will be available end of the year. uIEC/IDE+CF: The larger board. This unit can talk ot CF cards, IDE drives, or both. It has expansion options for later enhancements (I'm preparing a small add on board that will provide a USB link to a Windows/Mac/Linux/etc. PC and an option to use SD cards and a Real time clock. Later, I hope to add IEEE-488 support to this unit. $75.00 for the base unit. I should have a dozen or so at WoC and 30 more a few weeks later. uIEC/CF: Similar to uIEC/SD, but CF-only. I am out of this design, and contemplating whether to run more. Most folks prefer the SD unit, but I might run a batch of these since they use many of the same parts as the uIEC/IDE+CF $5.00 ships in the US, and $15 ships international. If folks find it interesting, I think the story of how the unit came to exist are rather interesting and I am proud of it, even though I had to swallow my pride a lot. It involves open source, multi-continent collaboration, and other things possibly of interest to the list. Dunno. Oh, and the plans and firmware is under GPL (v2), so you are free to develop/build your own.
