nice job, where did you find the molex connector for the ide power? I've been unable to source one.

Pretty busy pre-soldering the SMT parts of the upcoming Kiwi kit...

Hi Simon

Do you have a cost for the kits?

It will be around 350€ + PSU (25€) + 4MB SIMM (10€) + shipping (depends on where you live).
You'll get the board (with SMT parts pre-soldered) and every other parts, but the SIDs. If you don't have the original 6581 or 8580 you can get one or two SwinSIDs for another 15€ each. The Atmega, Eprom and CPLD will come pre-programmed with a working version of the firmware(s). In addition I will offer a CF card (9€), CF-IDE adapter (2€) and the needed power cable + adapter (2,50€).
What I can't offer are a keyboard, a mouse or an enclosure (case).

Hi Simon

Do you have any bare boards and what is the cost?

Thanks Tony

Hi Tony,

the boards of the last batch run are presoldered already, but I still have a spare bare board from the previous run. This would cost 75€ plus shipping.
There is one presoldered board where two databus pins of the cs8900a show infinite resistance. That never happened before and I don't want to sell it with a kit. If you want to try (and maybe have to remove the CS8900a) you can have it for 90€ plus shipping. Otherwise I would keep it and eventually build it myself.

Best
Simon
