well, tomorrow i will Split the SpeakJet + Opterx bulk order in 2. (see bluk order section) 1) for SpeakJet 2) for Digikey (because i'll buy opterx on digikey). i think the best way to arrange this kind of order is this (all suggestions are welcome). send me a PM with: a) all the parts and in wich quatity you need, if you wrote the digikey n° or the prduct n° it will be cool. b) if you had just try to place an order on the digikey's site, wrote me how many € are. c) tell me your complete address. i'll go to the post office with the list of all addesses, and i will ask for eachone how much are the shipping, relative to the weight and the type of expedition requested. i need a way to calculate the wieght (we can think how). d) it would be good if you tell me how much are the taxes applied in you country for incoming intems from another country, and customs too. Here, in italy, we have 20% (IVA) + customers tax that is variable, they start from 5€. I've never paid for, but just from china (motherboard) 15€ on 100€, and from usa, but the value was 450€. e) explain me wich kind of paymant you can do, paypal, bank transfer, moneygram etc. f) say how soon you would like to arrange this order - the reason for d): if the order will be 250€ in ex. the IVA (if it will be applied, i hope NOT) will be splitted to all peoples, 20% of 250 it's 50. the rightest thing would be split in % of the previusly payed. hard to calculate. - the second reason for d): if in your country taxes are lowest than in italy, we can think about, but all this work will be pass from me to another person. i don't like this kind of passing through of an order because of responsability, but we can debate about not? as i had said all suggestions are welcome.

yes look at digikey! i'm planning an order there, it.digikey.com for about 100€. if we organize a bulk over 150€ shipping are free, than one of us (me in ex.) can ship to others countrys items for cheap.

seems cool, sice i can't find any LPT 25 pin connector for vectorboard mounting..

can you post the LCD's serial numbero pease? :D

yes, the chips are 24.99$ each + 6$ shipping for all! You are in Zona 3 in my postal office info. no, it's not too soon, imust build many things first, than i will buy them. there is a lot of time no prob. i'm not the one that go fast, i can wait! shure! i'll mail opterx directly now.

stryd thanks for offering help. well, had you read my post in bulk order? i've found this source http://www.speechchips.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=6 they ship to italy for 6$. a letter, air bubble up to 50g are 1,80€ :) insurance up to 50€ are 5,95€ the bad things is always this, in italy we have national tax IVA 20% and customs tax. i've never pay for this, except from CINA. if anyone interested please post in bulk. ganchan - 1 MTE - 1 ? Sasha ? Stryd

yes sasha i don't understand this price.. the cheapest that i've find it's 20€ up to 500g, with insurance and recivement notification. if you find some other people in Serbia i can ship all to you, and than you can do the same :)

sasha no problem, i've see how much are shipping cost to Serbia for a packg + insurance etc... 50€ at italian post office.. but there are cheap solutions. well, i will find something cheap and i will notice you, without commitment... (in italiano senza impegno) i don't know the idiomatic words in english. sice i think my order on digikey will be over 100€ shipping will be free, than if anyone is interested, i can calculate the shipping cost for him country. that's all! sasha i will PM you something about datassette, if you can, don't know your situation now, i will be happy if you can help me in some little things/Suggestions, i know your experience it's heavy :) regards. G.

ops, sorry, you're right! can you move it for me? or just put a new thread?

can any one sell me, here in italy no one have it! 2x 74HC14 minimum order on digikey it's 2000 :-\

well. i'll post soon all the info about shipping from italy to the others countrys. i've sent 2 DDR ram in an airball mail in USA for 1,80€, it arrived in 6 days, but there is no insurance and no track number. (this is for speakjet alone). i've many plastic box that come for microchip to package them, but i think they will arrive just packaged. For the LCD tomorrow i will ask to the postal office, on the site there are not enought infos for the international shipping. (where in italy there will be a site with ALL the infos? i think never). Sasha your seq. it's the perfect one that i dream you know, i hate pc seq, now i use ableton but i would leave 'personal computer' at home when i play.

sorry, where you find crystalfotnz LCD for that cheap? i need some, if you can direct me i'll buy. thankyou. FCB Electronics Store on ebay.. i ask, i answer :P

hi, where have you find crystalfontz 20x4 blue lcd for 10$? it is 29,80 on the site, and crystalfotnz it's a direct seller. it would be nice if you share with us your seller or ask if anyone need it at this good price not? ;) well, the LCD is an CFAH2004A-TMI-JP 20x4 STN Blue, Negative, Transmissive, White Edge LED Backlight, in this thread http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,9623.0.html people had buy same LCD but with different color for MB-6582 Wilba user-project. as Wilba says: that's all.

ahahahah far all :) i've found a source for 6$ ship, i can do this.

a) i know this is not an hot requested chip but sice there is only one shop that ship at 6$ instead 25$ or 55$ :o like others, to EU (italy) obiviusly, i'm asking if there are anyone interested in this. this is the shop: http://www.speechchips.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=6 they have stock of 5 6$ it's cheap, so the money saved for a bulk are not so much. b) i'm planning to buying some Optrex: white char, black ground, FTN transmissive, etc. 20x4 20x2 40x2 and some others green i think on digikey or a cheapes shop ??? €18,00 for italy + 8€ if the order it's less than 150€, otherwise it's gratis :)

well, tnx rio, i've read all docu about, there are some little things that i've not completly understand but the project is very simple. i've just 2 core and my pc it's from 1999 than i've a cool parallel port for programming PIC. the hardest thing now it's find a shop that ship Speakjet chip for less money than the chip itself cost.. - Acroname Robotics (http://www.easierrobotics.com/) ask $55.95 - UPS Worldwide Express + chip - http://www.thebotshop.com/ ask me 25$ + chip - the UK distributors have not in the shop well at http://www.speechchips.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=6 the askme 6$ for a chip! alè..

better late than never.. (in italy we say this, meglio tardi che mai) i'm interested :P any one else?
