SBEC Chip Converter Group Buy

[AzShadow]

sweet looks like people are grtting excited about this! Can't wait

The min order to get them quickly is around $550. So far I have 6 People if I include you who commited to buy (at $35). That means everyone would need to pay out about $92. If everyone is ok with that and will pay a deposit I'll order them. If that doesn't happen I'll order from the slower cheaper place Monday so those who want them now will not have to wait more than necessary.

I am in no rush, so I can wait for the cheaper price,

Sorry folks I cannot do this right now. I need to do other things first and foremost.

[Bubba]

I'm in for one!

we got 10!

[AzShadow]

sweeeeeet! Let me know when and where to send the money

[quantum]

I ordered the first batch of boards. Cost is $35 + $6 for shipping for a $41 total; please send payment to quantum_kid@hotmail.com through paypal or PM me if you need my mailing address. Please make sure you include your address.

Also, was anyone planning on using the socket for the current 87C257 chips? If not and you just want it for the electronic erase and Ostrich ability please post here or put it in your order. If no one is going to use that on the board (It really isn't necessary, if you have a socketed SBEC you can just remove the board and put a 87C257 chip in) I may remove it. Thanks everyone.

ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS ONE OF THESE AND IS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL 10 DO NOT SEND ME MONEY. Start a new list instead.

I'll still be using the 87C257 chips until later on when I get the money for the Ostrich.

[jl93sundance]

Usually the boards from this place take 3-4 weeks. Once I get them I'll put them together and ship in a day or two. So plan on a month or a bit more. I'll post up once I receive the boards.

So after we are done with the Ostrich, i can burn a 87C257, or what's the deal?

I'll have you paid by the end of the week,

The 87C257 is the chip socketed SBEC's natively use. With this converter plugged into the socket you can use a 27C256 electronic erase chips or the Ostrich. I can build the converter with an extra socket which should allow the use of 87C257 chips with out removing the converter or I can leave it out and you would just need to remove the converter to use the 87C257 chips. It's really six of one or a half dozen of another. The reason I am debating not having the extra socket is because it is much harder to solder and the extra socket isn't ZIF so you would most likely need to remove the converter to put in a 87C257 chip and then you may as well use the socket on the SBEC. So in the end the extra socket is superfluous and that is why I am going back and forth about including it.
