GB A1000 PCB Board

[marchi.gianluca]

Hello, does anyone have a GB A1000 PCB board to sell?

[rkauer]

Maybe you can join Amibay, as it is a trade forum.

Anyway, good luck with your search!

If you're looking to find just the bare PCB board, they come up every now and again. Many of the original owners have been sitting on these since they came out. To my knowledge, nobody has completed one yet. And then I vaguely remember something about a custom bootstrap chip that needs to be programmed before the thing will even work.

There are a lot of the boards up and running. Just look in the http://www.a1k.org forum (german) and you can see some of them (even with enhancements).

There has been GB A1000s running for quite some time on the german website yes, but out of the group that purchased those nice blue boards off a discussion here on amiga.org a while back, I haven't heard that any are finished. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) The closest one to being finished is Illuwatar afaik. Mine's stored away at the moment until I can make room for a small work area.

well, I know it's a hard job, but I'd like to try... I have almost all the stuff and tools needed, like SMD air soldering station, EPROM and PLC programmers, many custom chips and olt Amiga mainboards... I always been an Amiga fan, but I suspended for a long time... just now that I've seen this GB board I take back all my stuffs from the dust... The first problem now is to find the bare board...

Sadly I'm one of the folks who has the board and haven't laid down any of the parts. Just don't have the time really, maybe some day...

Maybe we should start another GBA board purchase thread like the original thread.

I have all of the final specs that went to the maker of the boards.  Unfortunately I like many others came late to the party and couldn't get in on the group buy which lowered the cost
of the boards considerably.

Sadly I keep hearing from techs like myself that have everything needed to build these boards but need to really get the group together for a scale purchase of 20 boards or more.

If anyone still has their board lamenting (face it, it has been a long time since those boards were purchased)  and you would like to sell it to someone who can build the board now them PM me as well.

Aside from people selling their current still unmade boards we could pull together another group for a bare board build/purchase.

Any thoughts?

Can you finish the board at this time, IIRC there is some files you need to flash missing, noticed some posts on a1k.org about it. Maybe I am wrong?
