kieran Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 This is not a good idea... people will need to load the latest version anyway, as it's still a beta release at the moment, and I think everyone needs to demonstrate (learn!) some basic MIDIbox skills like uploading an app with MIOS Studio.I think omitting the app is fair enough so that it can mature and gets users in the habit of bootstrap loading/updating using MIOS studio, but programming the OS probably is a good idea so that people without programmers can bootstrap load the app using MIOS studio, no?Not that I'm getting a pic from Smash anyway, just the other bits. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 So do we have any idea when the baseboard kit will be ready?? I'm not trying to rush anyone i'd just like a timeframe to work to, (plus, I want to place an order for some other stuff, and don't want to pay the postage twice!).

nebula Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 To sum up the current status of the MB-6582s of the world: SIDs, PCBs, panels, LCDs, and knobs have shipped. Europe is still waiting on PT-10s, and the rest of the world is buying their own.I am firmly on the "don't bug Smash" bandwagon, but I'm sure lots of people who have everything else in-hand are now eager for a status update. This is not to say I am asking for this to be "rushed" ... but I have to admit I'm now wanting to plan to start building!So ... if I may be so bold ... with all due appreciation and respect, do we have a rough ETA on base and/or control surface parts kits? It's been about 6 weeks since we've had any updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashtv Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 So ... if I may be so bold ... with all due appreciation and respect, do we have a rough ETA on base and/or control surface parts kits? It's been about 6 weeks since we've had any updates.Hi guys!I have enough kits made up to cover roughly half of this waiting list, and enough parts on the shelf to do the rest.Kit#001 is in transit (via express) to a good friend for testing, to insure that everything is there and in the right quantity. As soon as I get a pass/fail on that I'll start handing out (via private message here on the forum) numbers that you can fill in to a modified version of my store order page. Kit has everything needed for the baseboard except the PCB itself, SID chips, power input jack, and the power switch. If I can find the correct switch in RoHS compliant form and for less than an insane price, they will become part of the kit (highly unlikely). I will have the on-off-on version of the switch available separately to avoid an extra mouser order for you guys if needed though.This has changed slightly, the on-off-on switch from Mouser turned out to be not even close to the right part and simply won't fit, so obviously I won't be stocking up on them.The right switch will probably be available in the future, but these will have to be made to spec so re-using a C64 switch or simple jumpers is the way to go for now.

Wilba Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 The right power switch (i.e. C64 power switch) has been found. I just need to buy 500 of them now.They will definitely end up in future "kits", probably not this batch of kits, but they are easy to send in a letter for $2 so I'm happy to distribute them to the MB-6582 builders. Please don't flood me with requests for them now, I am drowning in email already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
