I used an HP Laserjet 4000 of some sort at the university. I recently bought a Brother HL-5250DN, with which I haven't yet tried to make a board. My new printer might produce better results since it's not abused nearly as much as the uni printer. I've used both an iron and laminator, both gave bad results. I suppose I'll get some inkjet paper and try again sometime this week.

Though you say that board sucks, it's way beyond mine. I actually have the same kind of laminator that Pulsar recommends, and I got broken traces with feathery edges. And that was when I could get the toner to transfer cleanly in the first place.

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/ for detailed discussion of this stuff. I've tried it and got mediocre to bad results. Maybe it was my technique. The above-mentioned group also has info on using inkjet photo paper in a laser printer for toner-transfer. Some people get better results that way than with Pulsar's special paper.

Anyone? How about $10 plus shipping?

Some wanker is selling chips that are obviously not SIDs as SIDs >:(
Here are some 74LS logic chips:

And assorted C64 support chips:

I've reported the guy and there are about 22 hours to go on these auctions.

I'll probably end up building something like that Speakjet thing for my voice-synthesis fooling around. But, hey, I was at a thrift store and the S&S was there for only a few bucks.
-
I just picked up a Speak and Spell and a Speak and Math. Has anyone interfaced Midibox hardware with these things?

I have a 2U chassis I bought from Paia some time ago for my MBFM. My design has changed, so I have this chassis sitting around taking up space. It's yours for US$20 plus shipping (I'm in the US). Here's a pic. All the jacks you see are included. The reinforcing bars are my addition.

The minimoog PCB thing interests me...

That's a pretty cool idea, I'd not thought of using plasti-dip in that way before. I was about to put a thread in the parts questions to see if anybody knew where i could get white soft-touch knobs, but with this stuff I could make my own!
@Davo or SmashTV: What kind of feel does it have when it's been applied? Is it glossy to look at?
Cheers,
Dan
It's more of a matte appearance. If you apply it thin enough, it should be good for soft-touch knobs. There's only one way to find out.

I haven't used it myself. My brother used it to coat the forestock of an airsoft gun. He applied it a bit too heavily in one go, but the result was quite good nonetheless.

Dipping would give you a very thick coating. You'd be better off using the spray-on rubber coating. Do it in very light coats or else you'll get runs and blobs.

I like Geda. See http://geda.seul.org/. It's freeware, open source, and very capable.

... who's smoking in the studio? .... except of me ;D :P
Greets, Roger
He must be talking about the smoke wafting from the rack.
;D

Hehehe we had a rack with about a million bucks in drive arrays turn up with a forklift stabwound last year.... All the way through!
A friend of mine was expecting an Atari Abaq (one of only $very_small_number ever made) some years ago.
After a ridiculously long time, it was discovered with a forklift stab wound. Of course the machine was insured, but the shipper wanted to repair it or buy a new one. Idiots! ::)

I have two Atari STs. One is a 520, the other a 1040. Both are in rather sorry physical condition, but they seem to have lots of salvageable parts. In particular, the sound chips are intact. None of this is tested. If you want one or both, you can have them for the cost of shipping from California in the US.

A bit of poking around took me to http://www.fatar.com/home_fatar.htm They don't list prices, but it does seem clear that they're selling a variety of keybeds. http://www.doepfer.de/DIY/MKE_keyboards.htm has stuff on interfacing these keybeds.

Can someone point me in the right direction for finding a keybed? I'd like to explore making my own keyboard without the mess and confusion of cannibalizing an existing midi controller.

THey have been rated 5 on the aldite-metrion scale for transgravitational operation.
Why?
Do you plan on using them in a polygrav sphere?
Not quite. I'm trying to deal with practice of putting inward-pointing gravity generators on the walls and ceiling of discotheques? Interference patterns from setups like that can cause hum in old synths like the SID chip. It's like AC hum, but has a phasing whoosh to it. Levitation plates are about the only thing I can use for shielding, but is counterproductive if you want to sit in a chair while at the keyboard and the only place to set up your stuff is on the ceiling.

Have you considered the x0xb0x for your TB303 needs/urges? See http://www.ladyada.net/make/x0xb0x/. The Oakley offering is certainly attractive. Pity it doesn't seem available anymore.

IMHO, weighted action is only useful when you're playing stuff written for piano or harpsichord.

Personally, I use and love the Roland PC 200 mk2 and am thinking of getting another one. I've been thinking of getting a keyboard with lots of knobs, but am uncertain of how good a fit this would make with midibox stuff and rackmount stuff, in particular the Yamaha TX802.

I'm fantasizing about a midi router with 32 ports (two for each of 16 channels). I'm pretty sure those will all fit on the back of a 1U chassis. What front panel controls would one want for a midi router?
2U chassis for sale

I haven't the foggiest idea why the picture isn't showing up for you guys. Can you suggest an alternative place for me to upload the pic?
