Wonderful, congratulations. Looking forward to hearing how you make out with the new board!

They just fit the cartridge shell and positioning of the buttons, SD card etc seems to be about right.

Next step, assemble one!

Great that things are moving along.

I have a variety of spare displays, if you want/need them, I'd be happy to send them to you to experiment with (no charge). Thomas I think I can arrange a simple two bit output port using just a 74LS138 and a 74LS74, but if anyone can suggest something simpler I'd be happy to consider it. They don't...

Either way you go, I'm sure it will be awesome. Appreciate you taking the time to consider my thoughts. Thomas I've not played with these displays (but I already have one on order for a side project). They're I2C devices so connecting them up is simple but the problem would be driving it. Hooking it...

What a terrific project. If you do end up doing a run of these, count me in. I'd love one. Skydivingirl, back when she was making the last version of the cartridge was thinking of adapting an OLED display into the design. Thought it would be neat to be able to do things perhaps similar to how the bo...

I'm looking to buy an RTC V-Link for the VIC-20 (obviously).

If anyone has one they'd consider selling, please do let me know.

... perhaps the Canadian corporate offices...

The Canadian corporate offices were there, I know cuz I worked there at the time. It was also a warehouse and repair depot.

Just ordered my Penultimate cartridge. Rather impressed with the photos and videos I've seen. Looks like a nice package, and will fit well in my VIC-20 collection. Looking forward to trying it out!

What do you think you the kit would cost? I am certainly interested in hearing more! I can speak for my VIC-20 in that it would love to have one installed! :D I certainly understand you wanting to make sure you get enough people interest. Having a board that pops in, and perhaps wires that are attac...

This is really fantastic. Simply brilliant!

Count me in when you're ready!

Hi,

I'm could be interested in one of your Behr Bonz cartridges, but $12 USD for shipping within Canada? Couldn't you send it oversize lettermail, that'd only be a couple bux.

Have you ever thought of building/selling a WonderVIC PCB that people could install in their own VIC?

All this talk going around about Gideon's new version of the 1541 Ultimate cartridge got me thinking that I had not yet built a case for the Ultimate I that I had bought a while back. This case was a tricky one, as the physical board itself is much wider than a standard cartridge board. I think the ...

I'm from Canada, and could help you out.

I'll PM you.

I was wondering if anyone from there could proxy the package for me.

PM me if you can help, please

Thanks a lot

Another drive you can look for is an MSD SD-1 or SD-2. They have both IEC and IEEE connectors on them. They are 1541 read/write compatible drives, and you can even get JiffyDOS for them... These drives however, are prone to electrolytic capacitor leakage, that will render them inoperable until the c...
