You really should ship them US First Class Mail. Almost the same speed as priority for a fraction of the price.

I would like one.

I live in Norway though, but will pay the extra shipping.

Also, i can assemble it myself. :-)

How much for one to Trondheim, Norway?

I'll send you the parts to assemble. Is $50 shipped first class mail okay? If so add yourself to the list and repost it.

First boards being assembled tomorrow. Please be on the lookout for a PM about payment and asking for your mailing info if you are on the list.

Due to the several message I have received about no longer being interested I will not be assembling these boards. I really wanted to not charge ahead of time and do this for as many as I could at near cost, but it seems I will be out a lot of money attempting to build and sell them one by one now.

I may have a buyer for the parts as a single lot and will pursue that.

Thank you for the interest, sorry it didnt go as planned. :(

@ Acill

that's sad news but I suggest you just ask for payment straight up front because I'm sure most (me included) have no issue at all with it

Man, I'm really sorry to hear that. What the heck is wrong with people? They had several opportunities to change their minds before it got to now. Maybe next time, as klx300r said, collect money upfront for preorders so you don't lose your own money when people welsh on their commitment like this.

Whoever screwed you like this should be ashamed.

If you decide to go ahead and need a few additional orders to pad out your investment, let me know.  I have more money than time right now, lol.  ;)

Good idea. I don't have a need but I'll take a couple too on principle.

Thanks, I will see about building a few, but I didnt want, and still dont want to take any money in advance just in case something goes wrong. I have seen far to many people in the Amiga scene do that and things blow up. Its the same reason I dont ask for cash up front when I do a repair on boards sent in. Slightly diffrent when you ahve someones board but same idea.

The guy that builds the SCSI2SD boards is interested in taking my parts, so I think the chance to get some here in the US will still be happening, just not from me this time around.

It's for folks who have a video card that doesn't have a built-in passthrough or automatic switch, and something like an Indivision.  A bit of info on this link (which also contains a link to detailed info over on a1k website:

@Acill,

I will need 2 of them as soon as I'm Working. They will be bought up I'm sure.

any update on these?

could really use one of these since I need to free up space in the man cave by getting rid of a 1081 for my 1200T

I sold off all the parts at a loss after most of the members backed out that had a commitment. I dont plan to take the risk again. It was an expensive venture and I lost close to $150 out of it.

@ Acill

too bad as I thought you said you were going to make a few since you had the parts? there were quite a few people willing to pay you straight up for one or two (me included)

Were is the key word here. Besides you, I only had one other person interested in sending in money when the time came. I can contact the person I sent all the parts to and see what he plans to do with them, but they were being used in other non Amiga related projects.

I'll be happy to pay you up front for 2 units if you get the parts

wouldnt it be possible to sell the surplus units on Amibay.  Im sure over the long run they would sell eventually.
