Sorry to not answer you before. I´m now plenty of job, and really, I don´t see your PM before.

I send your a PM.

Everything is OK?

Thanks

Use up to 4 clockport devices like Delfina, Prelude, Melody, Subway, Silversurfer or Catweasel at the same time.

[ Show youtube player ]

Price will be 15 Euro.

And how many units would you be assembling for the batch, for that price/unit? I'd be willing to buy a significant quantity of blank PCBs at a reduced price, bulk mailed to the USA. PM me if interested.

The card looks awesome! Can't wait until i have at least one as i have just discovered a never used Delfina that i had forgotten in my cellar. Will be great if it can work along with my Subway and my Catweasel.

Hi DJBase

I got home from hols to find mine too, its very well made! not had chance to put it in yet and test but I have some questions....

How well does it run with a clock port extension cable? I have a BVPPC and I need to rise the card, but that means its going to sit directly over the super hot ram IC's on the BVPPC (of which I have heat sinks stuck on them so its gonna be a pain).... I want to use a 9cm extender cable and place the clock port expander somewhere else (like on top of the indivision AGA). is this ok? what do you recommend here?

I also plan to have a subway and Delfina connected... which would you say is recommended for port 0 if any? can I plug them in any port I wish? also, I hear from Jens at individual that the Delfina doesn't work so well on a cable longer than 12 cm. would the expander regenerate loss over the cable extension? (If I use it) my Delfina cable is 9cm long too.

And lastly, the delfina "pin 1" or reference pin seems different to the "pin 1" you state on your expander (you are using "Pin 1" as the nearest to PCMCIA, which is subway friendly, but the red marker pin for Delfina is opposite). should all us Delfina users take the opposite side to "pin 1" on any port as the red marker point for the Delfina?

Sorry for all the gumph, but I like to make sure

I would advise to not use any cables between clockport and expander. It may end up in some troubles but you can try if it works for you.

Subway and Delfina works on all Ports so you can place them where you think they will fit at best. Its always the best to use cables as short as possible even there is a buffer on the expander.

Pin 1 on the expander is Pin 19 of the clockport (clockport range is original Pin 19-40; Pin 19 and 39 is GND, Pin 20 is +5V). I cannot speak for all devices so if Delfina is opposite you should connect it opposite.

@DJBase

Great piece of hardware.

Please, if possible, delivery ASAP.

Cheers

vulture · 19 July 2010, 13:36

@djbase:

mine arrived today, seems fine! one request if possible:
could you post a picture with the expander installed. I've read the manual coming with it, but for the life of me I can't understand which way the rom connector should be installed. Also, is there a preference on which rom chip it should be installed? Thx!

The notch on the left side and flush-right. No matter which ROM chip, will work with both.
