Expansion board for the CD32 - Page 54

cool - just a suggestion that you may have already considered - put the blanks on ebay first with a reasonable markup to build a small piggy bank to offset any risk in future projects you do.

If you allow a reasonable delay before publishing them people who want this stuff "urgently" and can afford to contribute can help keep the momentum going. Think of it as a donation to future projects where your obligation is removed because people "buy" and get to "keep" something.

Money isnt the issue for me. Its mostly about keeping the greedy ones from exploiting.

Will you also sell some fully built boards?

Now its open source there's not alot you can do about that, people will exploit when they get a foot in the door in any market.

It is what it is, Spidi will set a price on his and i guess if there's more than one person populating and selling yours at least there's a little competition to sell cheaper, of course the first ones out will sell for a stupid amount but its upto people to buy either way.

Sure there is. I can always make my boards available bare for cost + 15%. Which is what my ebay model is for. That way the greedy idiots arent going to make any sales because there are cheaper alternatives.

Spidi's board is more up market than mine. So if you want a quick fix buy that. But mine will be around forever because its open.

Completely understandable. You have done so much in such a small space of time. Batteries must be recharged at some point otherwise they end up completely dieing, and such a talent as yours should not be over worked.

use for your cd32: https://github.com/cnvogelg/romdisk

I have listed 8 TF328 bare boards on a popular auction site.

kgc210 · 09 August 2017, 07:35

Have they all gone already? Missed them ones.

Not from me. You can buy all the parts and assemble it yourself. If I sell them assembled they would triple in price.

I think there would be plenty of people willing to pay more than triple if you are interested in doing a dozen populated boards?

Turran · 10 August 2017, 09:28

Getting my, almost, unused CD32 an IDE drive and memory to set up a WHDload library of CD32 games on it would indeed be worth a lot of money.

I could solder it all together if sold as a kit. Just don't have the time to source all the parts myself. But yes, a finished product would be worth a lot.

There are far less parts to the TF328 than the 530. I am going to try a 60ns RAM part and see how that goes. It was cheaper than the ram I tried before
