With easter eggs too! :wink:

I assembled a MegaCart last night to verify PCB was okay from supplier


........and it works!!!

A large order of parts arrived at my office this morning.
I am waiting on NVRAM chips which should be on a plane tonight and arrive sometime tommorow morning.

I am picking up reset switches locally on Saturday morning and that should be it for parts, with exception of label & case insert printing.

Assembly should commence on the weekend.

I am waiting on labels (which should be available for me to pick up on Monday).

Here is images of a couple of completed megacarts ready to be installed into cart cases.

There was an error on PCB layout which requires me to add 2 wires to correct bug for address lines A8 & A9 between the eproms.
However, this a just a minor inconvenience for me during assembly.

Are you putting serial number stickers on the PCBs or cart cases? That would be good for bragging rights later on. :P

Yes, there will be a serial number sticker on back of the cart case.

There is also and easter egg with serial number of each unit.
This will display to screen the info.

I finally managed to get acceptable labels printed.

This is the result with a sample MegaCart (black case)

Image

Image

These are glossy vinyl labels and are UV resistant.
The colours are a bit more vibrant than the picture suggests.
My flatbed scanner is not the best to capture image details.

I also bought the batch of labels which printer had cropped square by mistake.
I likely will be selling these for nominal amount.
I really did not want to see these go to waste and they should make good bumper stickers for the MegaCart fanatic :lol:
