Re: DIY RAM EXPANSION

That's very....spacious :)

I only add that it is best to use the slowest GAL you can - at least a 20 or 25. 15 heads into marginal territory for some QLs, and 12, 10 or 7 often have issues with noise.

Good job :)

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

The thing that surprised me is that instead of being cool and logical, my reaction to these small setbacks has also been emotional. I feel held up and also like I have let people down. That's the last thing I want! When I made the decision to not add anything to the store until it was in hand and re...

I hope you get to use all of that gear occasionally!

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

My mailman explained that because my CN22 customs labels are handwritten, they get individual scrutiny. If they were pre-printed "business, professional" labels and already data entered into the USPS system, they would undergo no further scrutiny. I am signing up for a label printer and et...

I am interested in this. If you're interested in open sourcing or licensing your design when it's finished, please email me off-forum. :)

I bet that is where some good money is: making those LP6 cards.

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

It's the silliest thing. I am allowed to ship batteries as they are fitted/installed in the device, they contain less than 1 oz of lithium, and there are less than 3 of them. And then a package with batteries in it gets through, and ones that have no batteries in them are rejected. Only one solution...

Re: Wanted: Q60 or a QXL board

If only we knew the inner workings of the chip, we would maybe be able to work on a compatible replacement. If that information were available, it would be a modest proposal to do a "Mega Gold Card" using an '030 at 50 MHz or so. That said, hooking it up to an old school QL does result in ...

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

I have had three of my battery holder shipments to the EU returned to me by USPS. They apparently read "battery holder" on the customs form, and declined to put them on the plane but just shipped them back to me, because USPS does not like to ship batteries. I do know that one has been del...
