So that means I need about 100 interested people. I no longer have time to hand solder boards anymore, and 200 is a large enough quantity to get a reasonable price on machine PCB assembly. I have already started working on version 2.0 of the CFFA board. The main reason for this is to include the bug fixes I have found in the hardware of the current board." Never announce a new version of a product when you're trying to sell the old one. I would've have put in my order if he didn't say he was going to do version 2.0 with bug fixes ;) Interestingly enough, he says he has 60 commitments so far (out of the 100 he requires before he orders up another batch). -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]

Am 30 Jul 2005 22:24 meinte Zane H. Healy: Works quite fine for (almost) all Apple II bus computers. Well, as long as you use ProDOS.I realy dislike the way he did Partitioning. It wouldn't have been a lot more to make it at least a bit PC-compatible. Looking into the hardware I would never have belived it to work in the first place, since the apple bus is quite noisy from nowadays perspective. So I'm surprised how well it worked.
