Yes, sort of..........

At this stage we are thinking it will be complete, assembled and tested BUT supplied without Micro, RAM & EPROMs (we will fit those for testing and then remove them).

There will be choices of 3 different RAM options - EPROMs differ between games and the Micro is hard to come by but all of these bits are likely to be OK on the old board this is replacing.

Nothing is set in stone yet.......

Will you be offering in both built and kit form?

We wanted to actually make one up before making this decision and frankly it's not looking good for a kit. Due to the age of the parts used you can't just make up a list, call RS and say "send me 200pcs of each". There are FAR too many variables and we will be lucky to be able to build up batches of 10 boards that are identical in reality. At this stage I think a kit will cause way too many problems.

There will be several RAM choices and that will be a headache enough.…

Some progress:



 
So are you saying board will be sold as a complete working new MPU?
