“The rest of this page is old and most of it no longer applies. I am waiting for the wiki fairy to come along and tidy it up… lol” -Wilba
This page is a summary of the (atm) 20 pages long mb6582 PCB and kit thread located here. So far the first 20 pages are incorporated into this page.
General info
-
baseboard parts kits are in process
the kit has everything needed for the baseboard except the PCB itself, SID chips, power input jack
the kit includes 8 512 bankstick ram chips
included PICs will have bootloader and MIOS, builder uploads the app via sysex.
the app will not be preloaded with MIOS/mbSID v2 as the software changes and you'll have to upload the newest version anyways.
pricing $100 with PIC chips, $75 without.
When will they ship?
Can I order yet?
Questions, comments, are welcomed in the thread linked above
Do NOT write PMs to either SmashTV or Wilba about ordering them
Will CS kits be available as well?
I don't want to wait. Can I etch my own PCB/have it etched?
Is there a BOM available for the base & control boards with part numbers from mouser, etc?
there's not a BOM, but lists what you need right here:

If you feel like creating a BOM with order numbers from mouser/reichelt/… feel free to do so and add it to the Wiki and link to it from here
Note that the dual-gang 500k pots used at the back aren't on the parts list, nor are the eight 3-pin SIL connectors to connect them to the SID modules
I already have parts X, Y and Z, can they be left out of the kit to reduce the price?
I need to finish the project by tomorrow/next month because [enter_reason_here]. Can I get a kit now?
