  1. A quick note:  there are a few people who have not responded to the private message I sent you here in the forum.  If you want out, or if you can't pay by April 20 (5 days away), please let me know.

    There are a few people asking me for additional P401 knobs, but the knobs are reserved for people who put themselves down in the Wiki but have not yet responded.  If I hear nothing by April 20 I will sell your knobs to somebody else.

    If you need more time, or if you need to back out of this order, it's no problem - please just let me know.

    I'll be sending a PM to each missing person shortly, but if you are one of the affected people please send me a message ASAP.

    Thanks

  2. There is a namespace called "project" and another called "projects" which is making it kind of tricky to link to pages from each other.  It looks like a mistake to me. 

    Am I wrong? Is there any way those namespaces can be merged?  (I suppose I could go rename a bunch of pages and stuff, but I think it might be easier for an administrator to do it)

  3. i'm paying soon Neb, i promise!!  i gotta pay the taxman first!! >:(

    Thanks for the heads up Buhler.  Send me the email anyway (as requested in the PM), because I need it to confirm your final quantity. Also just let me know in the email how long you need to pay.

    Same goes for anybody else who hasn't responded ... there are a few people now asking for more than were ordered, so I will allow everybody who has received a PM until April 20 to respond. If I haven't heard anything from you by then, your knobs will probably go to somebody else.

    Even if a few people can't come up with the cash by then, it's cool... just let me know, so I can reserve your knobs.

  4. I'd be curious to hear it in a musical context.  I've never heard of such a thing.

    None of the usual big-box component suppiers list the Philips SA1099P sound generator IC on their web sites, but I did see it listed on eBay for $18 with free shipping.  I'd be curious to hear this IC in a musical context - I've never heard of it before.

    The module is designed to be BASIC Stamp compatible, which means that it should connect very easily to a MBHP Core.  Even though the full schematic and board layout is on the Saratronics site, for only $7 more than the eBay listing you get all the support parts and a little PCB too.

  5. I've got it on a floppy somewhere.  One day I'll pull it out ... but if anybody would like to relay this question to any oldschool forums such as the one Bill mentions I'd appreciate it, only because I think it would be wrong of me to show up in a community, register and just ask a random question, never to return again.

  6. Well the hockey mask is similar to the one worn by "Jason" from the "Friday the 13th" movies.

    My guess is that this MIDIbox is not intended to produce love ballads  ;D

    Homemade enclosures from "found items" are just always so cool. This MIDIbox looks functional, durable, and like it didn't come off an assembly line.  I love the raw, brushed metal.

  7. I have sent a PM to everybody who has requested knobs.  I have merged the "waiting list" with the order list, because I have enough orders to warrant buying 3000 knobs.  I expect to still have some extras to sell, so I encourage anybody who still wants these knobs to message me.

    The PM provides an email address that I need you to send some specific information to.  I will send you a PayPal invoice shortly after I receive your email.  I hope everybody here can be paid up by April 20.

    If you have asked for knobs and you have not received a PM yet, send me a message NOW and I will send you instructions on how to order.

    Cheers,

  8. In around the mid-1980's, there was a simple C64 demo which featured 8 different coloured eyeballs moving, mostly in a circle, around the centre of the screen.  It was called something like "the eyes of irius" but not exactly that.  The eyeballs were sprites.

    I'm trying to find the name of it, and hopefully find the demo.  The music was quite good, and the eyeballs had this interesting choreography.

    Anyone?

  9. I see some guys have sent PMs... Should I have gotten one yet?

    No.  Later today - I am sorting something out with postage.  I'm still sorting out the details of international shipping, because postage varies more crazily by weight than I thought.

    The "PM" messages you're seeing are from people who aren't on the original list, but still want knobs.  If I get just 1 or 2 more such orders, I'll be ordering up an extra bag for everyone, so anybody else who wants knobs should most definitely speak up now!

  10. I have the quote confirmed.  The price is: $290 Canadian per thousand knobs. When we factor in tax, shipping (to me),PayPal and packaging costs, the final value is 39 cents per knob.  Canadians will pay this in Canadian funds, the rest of the world will be invoiced in US funds.

    Delivery will take up to 4 weeks, and I will immediately mail them out to all who have ordered.

    Shipping should be pretty inexpensive.  I am investigating this now.

    If you added your name to the Wiki page, expect a PM from me shortly.  I will need a response as soon as possible or you will be left behind.

    I am still accepting PMs from people who want this knob.  You'll be put on the waiting list. If there is demand for 300-400 more knobs I will order an additional thousand, so that everybody will be happy.

  11. Hi XNDR, I have added you to my waiting list.  No money has changed hands yet.  The distributor I was dealing with just needs to get back to me with the up-to-date quote then the invoices go out.  I'll allow people a week to pay, so if there are any dropouts, you're first in line.

    If anybody else would like to be on the waiting list for this otherwise closed order, please PM me.

  12. Hi everyone, I'm back from WMC, and back on this. 

    I had emailed the distributor just before I left to confirm the quotation from last November is still good.  I had expected a response, and today I checked and I had got nothing, so I phoned him.  He is no longer working for the company, he said my email landed in his spam folder, but he is now forwarding it on to the right person.

    I called the distributor as well and requested an updated quote from their order desk.  I'm hoping to see a response by tomorrow.  I'll keep you all informed.

    By the way, we are presently at 1900 pieces, which is perfect. I'd like to close the list at this time.  So, from the Wiki page, it looks like this:
