Wilba Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'm only gone for one week. It's just right in the middle of when I could be packing and sending.I could have been better organized and gathered postage in advance and padded bags for posting etc. and be ready to go now, but alas I was distracted with locating more SIDs and arranging that bulk order too... :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 It's all cool from here - I know just how much effort this has been.

kieran Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Only once before did I see a red soldermask on a PCB, and that was my GUS MAX soundcard. Red Roxxx ;DHell yeah, I have one of these babies. Populated with a whopping 8mb of sample mem. :) :) Those old 30pin SIMMS come in handy sometimes. I just wish I had some winxp drivers for it. Its great for old 90's demos though.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLightX Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hell yeah, I have one of these babies. Populated with a whopping 8mb of sample mem. :) :) Those old 30pin SIMMS come in handy sometimes. I just wish I had some winxp drivers for it. Its great for old 90's demos though.. :)GUS MAX did not use SIMMs but simple DRAM modules, and the maximum was 512KB or 1MB. Maybe you're referring to the later Ultrasound PnP cards that never were very successful due to the lack of driver support from Gravis.Allright, back on topic ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilba Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 All the PCBs are now wrapped in bubble wrap and in their posting bags.I have already started emailing payment requests, but I have to wait for everyone to confirm they want or do not want a socket, and also wait for SIDs to arrive and test and pack them too.I will try to get through as many as possible in the next few days... starting with the ones not ordering SIDs.

Jaicen Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Interesting you should post that in a GROUP BUY thread...Slorrin bought a stock of 8580's to sell on to members of the Prophet64 forum. I imagine there are a few left for Midiboxers too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilba Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I forgot to mention that I only received a couple free spare base PCBs and no free control surface PCBs. I did order more than what was paid for by everyone's PayPal payments (using my own cash) to accommodate any late orders, but as mentioned in previous posts, all these were allocated.It is quite likely that in another few months there might be enough people wanting the base + control surface PCBs to make another bulk order possible. I will keep track of any requests and let people know if/when there's enough requests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mono-poly Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah let me know when there is gonna be another order or if there are any pcb's left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimchim Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I would definitely want to get in on the second bulk order. Is posting here enough to add to the tally for a second order? or should I send a pm/email? Thanksedit: oops didn't see the other thread which is taking tallys. will post there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTE Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 My Base-PCB arrived this morning :DBig THNX to Wilba !Best Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 My PCB's and SID's arrived this morning too! I think three or four days to get from Australia to the UK is pretty damned fast! All look in good order too, so hopefully the SID's didn't get x-rayed to death at customs, and I won't get a VAT bill ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Your SIDs should be fine, I've sent enough before to know there are no death rays at customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
