The new board is a great idea HomePin.  Any idea on when these will be available?

We are aiming for availability of the Bally -35 about the end of January - we will start the layout of the Zaccaria just before Christmas and hope to have that available about March.

W are not finalising the design of either until we have covered as many bases as possible with 'hard to get parts' and made as many alternative options available of the board as possible. We also need to buy in the 'standard' parts that will be included with each bare board such as connector strips, test switch and 0.22Uh chokes.

It is likely the assembly manual will run to about 30 pages detailing step by step assebly with all the various options explained along the way and then step by step power up instructions to avoid damage and correct any assembly faults.

I'll keep you all updated with our progress.
