Is $40 for assembled-by-hand or wave-soldered?
Peace... Sridhar
Hand soldered from reading that thread, not that many boards available from
the looks of it (or parts). I think he recommended you buy the kit so you
don't complain about his soldering skills.
Sooner or later I will probably get one for my Tandy 1000 desktop when I can
figure out how to make a frame for a HD and mount one on the card (like a
hardcard).
For now the MFM drive and card I stuck into my XT clone will work.
