Last night one Aurora board was listed in eBay, but a bit expensive...

Yes - that's stupid money - he wants £300 for a backplane as well :-(

I did make a cheeky offer - I suspect it won't be accepted...

I have yellow bare PCB, I can ship to you, it's free, in any case you can't pay to Russia.

Why not going for the QLbase developed by Peter:

viewtopic.php?p=52483&hilit=qzero#p52483

You can get probably 4-5 pcs for the price of the listed Aurora.

The main reason for not going down any alternate route - is I have a system already built that the Aurora forms the basis of.

I like that design by the way - it's just not fit for the purpose I need.

I have one I was going to sell soon, but the problem is I cannot test it actually works :-(

Maybe we can work something out?
