OK, we've reached the $25/board price point on a few preorders, I think I'm going to start with the 502 board since it currently has the greatest number of actual boards preordered. Should be in within a week or two -- the larger boards seem to take them longer to manufacture.

Boards have shipped! I'll be out of town for a little bit but I suspect bare board orders will mail out sometime next week, expect payment request emails soon.

Boards are in! They look fine! I believe this is the first board to be run from Dave's reworked scans, so that definitively proves his process out.

I've sent out emails for everyone who has preordered bare boards. I have a single preorder for parts kits, so I probably won't prioritize picking a bunch of kits in favor of spending time/money/resources on getting more of the reproduction boards fabricated.

Had time to fix up the few small changes on the GW-OSI-RAM1 universal RAM board, so I've closed the preorder and sent it off to the board house. Hoping to get another batch of OSI reproduction boards off this month, too!

Finally got paid for a bunch of outstanding work! I'll be running the 540B next, as it's got the next highest number of preorders. I may go ahead and run a backplane too, since i know a few of you are waiting on backplanes.

I still haven't gotten the 502 parts kit nailed down, but I'm going to force myself to wrap it up in December.

Closed the OSI 540B and 582 preorders, they're on my current PC board order batch. I ran the 582 on 2.4mm (0.095 inch) FR4 to hopefully make them a little stiffer than the originals!

Boards are in! I'll get emails out for preorders after the holidays. The 582 boards are definitely better on the thicker stock, very little give to them, unlike the originals!

Are the 540B preorders still pending?

Thanks!
