I know there was some interest in 1541-III PCB's recently. Vincent
Slyngstad and I have been discussing this since that time, and he has
done up schematic in Eagle CAD and has the initial board layout done
(actually three different versions using different SD Sockets). The
big difference between this and the original design is that it uses
through the hole parts wherever possible rather than surface mount
parts.
I'm trying to find out if anyone here will be interested in boards.
I have a design question or two for anyone that is interested.
Additionally, I'm looking for anyone familiar with SD Sockets, as
neither Vince nor I are, and a couple questions have come up on the
socket placement.
Information on the 1541-III can be found at the creator, Jan
Derogee's website http://jderogee.tripod.com/

I'm in, probably for one.

Did anyone ever hear from the project owner or have boards made on his own?

I can't speak to the 1541-III, but I would plug the sd2iec, which offers
many of the same features, and Can be breadboarded if you want)

I would be interested in one. I'd really like a DTV version, too.

For a DTV version check out the following website.
http://www.pyrofersprojects.com/blog/?page_id=38 This version will
be considerably larger than the DTV version.
The board Vince has designed is currently slightly longer than Jan
Derogee's design, this is to accommodate through the hole components,
rather than surface mount. He has managed to keep it as small as it
is by having the resistors "stand up" rather than "lay flat". This
is one of the questions I have for those interested in the boards.
What is the preference. I personally would prefer them to lay flat,
even though it will result in a larger circuit board, as this will
make it easier to solder. It might also be worth while to allow more
space between components.
For an idea of how tight everything currently is, here is a PDF of a
version the board using a SD connector from Digikey.

Another question is about an enclosure for the board, should we
decided on the enclosure first, and the board be designed to fit it,
or just get the board done, and let everyone come up with their own
enclosures.

I don't like standing resistors, myself. They look sloppy, and
they're vulnerable. It's not a showstopper either way, though.

I'll probably build my own anyway, no no preference.

Warning, it looks like I'm going to be mostly offline for 10 days or so. I
have problems with my DSL line and am being told that it will take about 10
days (I assume that's if I'm lucky) for them to modernize my circuit to work
with the current DSL modems.
So if I don't post any further on this for a while, I've not flaked out, I
simply haven't figured out how to access my email reliably. :^(
