CTPCI / SUPERVIDEL INTERESTS

[HigashiJun]

Are the PCB files available for the CTPCI anyway ? That could just be extended like 1cm to avoid that problem.

Supervidel, no idea, its not made anymore is it ? Was those files public in the end ? Maybe that could be tweaked to fit the CT60e better

Gerbers for the CTPCI are available.

@foft even made a batch or two some time ago.

As for the Supervidel, Centuriontech planned to make a new batch, but I guess it's postponed now.

Thanks, yeah I remember @foft thread, not kept up with it much, but not sure if it ever got finished and working ? Though editing gerbers might be possible, but seems no actual PCB files, but the whole thing looks like a huge mess anyway

Not a bad thing considering the bad work he did on the CT60's lately. If there's proper PCB files and BOM, then I can get some prices on it. Though if it doesn't fit easily CT60e, I would need the PCB files to made edits. I assume Nature? Never published the stuff ?

I bought a CTPCI from @foft and it works great.

I didn't have any issues with my CT60 from Centuriontech. The culprit was a broken trace in my Falcon, and once repaired, the CT60 rocks.

I'm afraid there are no any Gerbers available on the Internet for the Supervidel though...

Thanks, yeah if they are available then not much use in me making them. Not unless they can be modified to fit better the CT60e. But maybe not worth the effort for low numbers it will likely have anyway. Someone used taller headers as a workaround, so not like its impossible to fit. Maybe a small adapter board could be done. But to early to really think about such things right now anyway.

Ah shame, I know people was asking for a long time about SV, but that was some years ago now. Assume they just didn't want to produce it anymore.

I think someone said SV doesn't fit either, but no idea about that as I never owned one. Would likely need a rework, but basically a dead end if files were never published anyway.

IIUC they fit together and work but you can't close the Falcon030 desktop case afterwards (unlike CT60/CT63?)

So willy must have had PCB files then at some point?
Looks like the thread basically abruptly ended.. so not sure if anything was even done in the end?

They must have given you the files at some point? I don't get what's going on with it all..

I actually have no memory of this event lol. I don't think I received anything otherwise I'd have backed it up. If I had to take a guess, I suppose the Nature guys were considering it until Willy decided to do it. But yeah I've completely forgotten. The secret possible manufacturer would probably have been you, so you've probably forgotten as well haha

I don't recall ever talking to anyone about supervidel. But I can neither confirm or deny..

Did willy produce his version in the end then? Seems most people in that thread moaning about the dvi connector.

Yes, this is what I have and what you see on my pic with the headers. Works great. The main problem to me with the CTPCI is that the hacked TOS don't let old demos or games run correctly.

A new batch of Supervidel will sell like hotcakes, we are so many people moaning to see one on sale again
