I've had a wanted thread for a harddrive solution for the CDTV over at amibay, and a very nice chap named Olli sent me a a link to a1k.org.

HTML Code:

i asked if I could post about it here and here is his reply.

Hi,
I am not a member of the EAB. My English is not sufficient to also read along in English forums

The collective order is finished and I have left only 6 sets. Whether there will be another order, I can not say yet.

The controller is based on a prototype A575 and Matze has the schematic and the board layout published so that everyone could create the board. So you can be happy about the controller in the EAB report, but not in relation to the collective order. Otherwise I can not save myself afterwards with requests

Bye,
Olli

The site is in German but easy enough to understand.

I wonder if someone would like to produce these boards?

I have one on order, in kit form, and once it arrives I'll assemble it and post back here.

Arnie.

Interesting. How much was the kit?

I imagine I could buy 5, sell 4 and cover the cost of my own.

Arnie · 28 July 2013, 16:57

12 Euro + p&p.

Thanks for telling me about this.

I would love to have one, but I don't speak German

Use Google chrome and the website is automatically changed into "English".

At least enough to place your order in the thread, give an address and pay via Pay Pal.

These are self assemble kits so you will need to be able to solder.

Neither do I but for one of these I don't mind making a fool of myself

I underpaid by €4 because I was quoted for Germany shipping and not EU shipping. Oli cancelled my order and gave my boards to the next in the queue

It wasn't really his fault, he did send me several PM messages but because I didn't have email notifications switched on for a1k.org I missed them. Although cancelling my order for a shortfall of less than 10% is a bit harsh

I would check how much you paid and your PM if you want to make sure that you still have any boards

[Edit: He's agreed to sell me 1 kit so while not great it isn't too bad)

SCSI-TV kit arrived today

.

I will get busy over the weekend soldering the parts to the pcb.

The pcb layout is very well marked out, it came nicely packaged aswell.

I'm off to a1k to see if a guide is ready.

Arnie.

Ok, finished soldering, here it is.

I've fitted it to the CDTV and everything boots OK. I can't test any Hard Drives yet as I'm waiting for one to arrive in the post.
