Omnibus to USB - please preorder NOW, thank you!

Good evening! Status: I now have a perfectly working professionally made PCB sitting in my current working 8/e. The PCB has gold plated fingers and holes for mounting handles. The 8/e currently contains: * CPU with EAE * RK8E * 3x8K core * XY8E plotter control * KL8E (for console) * Omni-USB (for data transfer) * sometimes TD8E * diode bootstrap card So it's not a really "heavily loaded" machine. But a normally loaded system, far away from being a naked CPU only. I have not seen any problems or instabilities caused by the USB board. Now back to the reason for this mail: The whole thing is far away from being anything else than a commercial disaster. On my first post some people expressed their interest to own one or more boards. That summed up to 15 boards. Currently I have orders (and some money as well) for seven boards. I have no idea if there is any further interest. And I want to order the final PCBs T-O-M-O-R-R-O-W - for US people this means today late evening with respect to time zone differences. I planned to order and build 25 boards. But that will cost A LOT of money. Currently I'm not sure anymore. I will wait for your orders until tomorrow. And then I will order the boards that are spoken for. That saves me from spending even more money that I currently don't have. So if you want a board: Order NOW!!!! http://shop.hachti.de/en/vintage-computing/1-omni-usb-100.html If you just want to place an order and do not want to pay immediately via PayPal, you can chose "bank wire" and pay when the boards become ready for shipping. And not to forget: Many thanks to the handful of people who trusted me enough to order some boards even before the final design was completed. Kind regards Philipp -- Dipl.-Inf.
