Boards for sale

[dave]

I have one of each PCB left. However, the 600D is the original version, which requires a couple of small mods (documented in this forum and on GitHub) in order to work. If you are interested, PM me.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I am extremely interested.

I've been chasing boards for years, always hearing about them but always getting there too late.

The superboard was one of the first computers I had contact with circa 1978-1979. I was a radio trades apprentice then. But working on Data General mini computers and very early microprocessor based evaluation kits.

I'm sure the mods are trivial and I'm more than happy to purchase whatever I can get my hands on.

So you have a 600 and a 610 board for sale as I understand it?

I live in Adelaide, South Australia.

Given the cost of shipping, I'll take the cheapest shipping option, as shipping is often more expensive than the actual item(s).

Looking forward to your reply.

Many thanks and Cheers, Martin

I am also interested in a 600 revD, 610 and a data separator board.
If anyone is going to be doing a run of these boards, I would be in for 1 of each. Also ensure that they are the latest updates, so I don't have to worry about any mods as required on the older version of the board.

Thanks,
Andy

The files on github are the revised version, only the 10 prototypes have the mods, and have been gone for years. These files were never released. I have a few seperators. And 630 boards

Thanks for the reply.
Are you willing to part with one of the data separator boards? Let me know how much you are asking + shipping.
Address is in PA, USA.

Also, I am struggling to find the Github repository again. Uggg. I found it a couple of years ago, but no luck just now.
If you don't mind dropping the link here. I figured it would be easier to ask then spend hours searching..
Thanks again,
Andy

Found them...

You don't happen to have the PCB layout files for Altium that you would be willing to share? I have been thinking about capturing the schematics is KiCad and then doing the PCB as well and put it out into the open source community on OSIWeb for others. Having the PCB files as a starting point would make the PCB payout a bit easier. In theory.

Thanks
Andy

The Boards were hand drawn so there is no work flow, the gerbers are all there is, there was a hackaday article and YouTube video just released and i have had request for boards , so i might do a limited run if there is enough interest, these are big boards.

[blkrckz28]

I am not seeing the Custom Data Separator D-13 board gerbers...
Have these been uploaded to github?
Also, I uploaded the gerbers to JLCPCB, and boards aren't too expensive, but the bloody shipping is like 3x the board costs..
There are fussing about not having a solder mask layer, so I may have to try PCBWAY or someother manf...

[Klyball]

Shipping is going to be large no matter where you go these are big boards. There is a trick to do the mask so they don't complain. Make a top layer as 1 giant mask full copper
