That's good news :D
I think that's a good way out of this situation.

If someone needs A1200 connectors - let me know, offer them for the price ive paid. Have 100 pieces

I hope you'll consider doing some more live-streams, Stephen, as it's really interesting to see what you're up to (and listen to scottish rock in the background!)

You may have noticed that i'd only done one stream since June anyways. It was something i'd planned to wind down even before this.

Over a beer at the next SAUG meetup.

I've been following your projects since the 520/530 days, and I'm sad to see what started as an open source line of affordable accelerators for people to learn from has now boiled down to something much less. Don't get me wrong; the technology is awesome and the accelerators are great, but for me, the great value of it was the open source side of things. I was really sad when the TF534 was the last board to be fully open sourced, but I found some comfort in that at least the TF536, TF330 and later boards at least would have freely available gerbers and jed:s, so that anyone could build them. For as long as the components would be available. Now the 536 has to be built NOW (if Exxos is going to produce any more boards), or the opportunity will be missed.

My plan was to buy 10-ish unpopulated PCB's to be able to build boards when I had the urge, but that's not going to happen now.

Came for the open source, stayed for the gerbers. But now? I don't know. Sorry.

I know it's your decision, and I don't carry enough weight to make you change your mind. Just thinking out loud...

Not to be pedantic but since April the TF330 was fully opened. Schematics, verilog.. everything. I'm sure someone has a fork of it on github somewhere.

Oh, well. I’ve been quite offline during spring/summer so I missed that.

@kludge do not despair:)
