Thanks, Though I redesigned the thing again in the current build, so it is like starting from scratch again, I just don't have time to build or do firmware or testing or anything at the moment unfortunately

My simms (item 0024) Are out of stock and I have no idea when I will get around to building up some more of them... The price is starting to increase as well because obtaining the RAM is more expensive than it was previously.

I am however testing "as new" Simms, obviously used but tested (by me) , but are in good condition, there will be some sets of them appearing in my store soon.

Stock status updated in the first post.

I have been bulk buying 3M sockets and RTC chips for the Falcon and some other stuff... See the screenshot below, I have sourced these from Farnell.. This order in total cost me almost £1,000! Farnell seem cheapest on 3MB sockets and it seems they are not stocking them once stocks are exhausted hence the bulk buy..

I purchased a lot of the Dallas chips as well because knowing Farnell they will discontinue them by the time I have got the PCB sorted. I will re-evaluate the price of the RTC modules as well. I don't risk or buy cheap crap from China again... Not after I had to junk a couple of batches of modules because of iffy chips :roll: .

The current high density floppy modules HD 7.0 will be discontinued when stock is exhausted. However some new boards will be done with more SMT which will be pre-soldered. I do not know how much the price will increase because of this yet.

I am doing this in order to reduce the amount of time It takes to order and sort out piles of components into each bag. The less part I have to deal with the better! it is less parts to keep track of, less parts to go looking for,Less storage space needed etc

7.0

7.1

PCB with the SMT parts will likely be sold "as is", without any other parts included in the "kit". Things like sockets and headers are available as a separate item in my store anyway.

The falcon 3 in 1 adapters are back in stock. There's 20 in store and a further 70ish to replenish stocks when they run out.

Diagnostic cartridges are starting to appear back in stock.
