Happy Christmas

Still suffering chip shortages and I have only just in the past two days moved into my new house. My Atari and electronics gear is not here yet as it's in a safe place for me to transport in the new year.

Plus our assembly place still has a few of our boards tied up.

Thanks for your reply grats on your new house! I'll keep and eye on the thread.

Merry Xmas

Pulling out all the Phoenix Shifter boards today whilst unpacking. Am looking to get all these populated apart from the FPGA as I don't have any spares looking at my current parts stock and they are not available due to the chip shortage.

If I can get these all up to a point where it is only in need of the FPGAs putting on once they become available that will be a good point.

There are 9x Phoenix Shifters for H4/5's and 9x Phoenix Shifter Chips (as I call them, due to the fact they are almost the same size as the original shifter chip) for ST/F/M and Megas.

Nice! Thx for the update. :dualthumbup:

Amazing work!

Can't wait to get one of these for my H5 one day!

I need to pull my finger out and get back to bug fixing the firmware and adding in the audio additions.

Ok, it's 2024, chip shortage seems to be pretty much over. How are these boards coming along?

Well I dunno if I'd call it "over", you can get a small number of Intel devices again but the price has doubled... But yeah it might be theoretically possible!

Unfortunately for me life and health got in the way over the last year. Am getting back into the swing of things and we - @Smonson / @ijor and others are discussing behind the scenes to see how we can take this further. But mostly I need to get back on top of things to start the ball rolling again.
