Hi Philipp
I'm interested. How much did a board from the previous batch cost? And
will that be any indication of what the new boards price?
Thank you,
Pontus

Hi folks,
it has taken a while but I'm now actively planning to shift out another
batch of OmniUSB boards. The last batch is sold out for a long time and I've
been asked for more from time to time.
As some of you might remember, it's a cool device to connect your
pdp8/f/a/m/e to the modern world using lightning fast USB.
The originial board has it's website here:
http://pdp8.hachti.de/projects/omni_usb/
The new board will do the same, perhaps even more.
- the USB connector will be replaced by a mini (NOT micro!!) USB connector.
- The connector position and cable routing will be improved.
- The board will be shorter. But it will come by default with a laser cut
acrylic extension that makes it full size again.
There will be at least those options to buy:
- Kit (board + all parts)
- Kit+ (board + all parts, SMT already assembled)
Possible:
- complete version - Everything soldered and tested.
- discount for omitting acrylic extender
I cannot guarantee that I can deliver fully assembled boards (regulations)
and would be able to do that only if there's a reasonable number of
interested buyers.
If have set up a doodle poll to get a realistic picture of the interest in
the board/kit/device:

PLEASE take the minute and fill in your name (ideally that I can recognise
you) and check the options which most precisely match your demands.
PLEASE be as honest as possible as I will base my decisions IF and for which
PRICE I can run the show.
Thank you!!!
Kind regards
Philipp :-)
