The reason why the correct schematics but not the correct layout is avaliable is that there were some slight problems with the CAD program. I think that Peter will have it ready sometime next week. We have only manufactured two boards for our own use, and have no current plans to make any more. Mostly because we don't have the resources for making a lot of them. Doing this with a single sided board wouldn't be possible because of the design of the expansion port. A lot of the interesting signals come out on the bottom of the board. It would be possible to wire it directly into the port, but that would be quite tricky (and ugly...). > oh and did you talk to jens schoenfeld? maybe he is willing to produce > a bunch of these?!

But we are hoping that someone will pick this up and perhaps start manufacturing more TFE cards. I wouldn't mind buying one myself :-) > however, i _NEED_ one of these until before next mekka - c64 based > warez-server here we come ;=DDD ;-) /adam -- Adam Dunkels <adam_at_sics.se> http://www.sics.se/~adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
