Kipper2k CD32 Riser - RGB (DB23) and PC Keyboard (PS/2) Ideal for TF328

kgc210 · 21 October 2017, 14:36

I have built a number of the Kipper V6.0 Riser boards ideal for use with you TF328!

They come fully populated with a PIC chip for the Keyboard interface and brand new DB23 connectors. The edge connectors and MiniDIN are TE Connectivity AMP brand.

At the moment I have enough to build 8 with RGB (DB23)

Prices for one including delivery and insured are as follows:

UK £30 (Was £32)
Europe £36 (Was £37)
Canada / USA £37 (Was £38 )

Non tracked, sent at your risk!
Europe £32
USA £33

For other locations and for example if you you to buy 3 or 5 etc I will calculate a cost.

I will only except Paypal Gift as this is not a commercial product.
Also it's your responsibility to ensure your TF328 or another product is insulted from the shielding inside your CD32!
There may be a delay in you getting these boards if demand is faster than I can produce them.

Is it possible to order them with options, say like green pcb color to match the CD32 pcb and without PS/2-interface?

kgc210 · 21 October 2017, 15:19

Not at the moment sorry.
I ordered red PCB's to match the TF328.

If I sell out I will consider preordering without components, but as it stands I have bought all of the components for this batch.

Thanks for the info!

Arrived and looks grand - will be giving it a proper test tonight

thanks!

Are these 100% compatible with TF328 when the PIC is programmed and fitted? I did read somewhere that there was some issues with the PIC firmware preventing boot on some risers?

It has the CF cut-out any photos of it all fitting together with the CF card mounted?

indigolemon · 27 October 2017, 17:02

As far as I know the 18 pin PIC on the Kipper2k design works great, it's the smaller pic used on some risers that cause the issue. I'll try and get some pics when I put it all together this weekend

kgc210 · 27 October 2017, 19:10

Thanks indigolemon.

This is how it sits with my TF328 ignore the tape on the TF328.
I am selling the v6 board, like indigolemon mentions it uses the 18pin PIC which works as should be. It was the pre v6 ones that didn't work.

kgc210 · 30 October 2017, 12:05

Just so you all know I have 12 riser boards left at the moment.

screemo · 30 October 2017, 23:33

I'll take one of those, can you PM me the payment link (incl. p&p to denmark) ?

PS: Are you selling complete TF328's too ?

Is that lower part top left wide enough to easily route a IDE cable out of the CD32?

There is enough room to feed a IDE cable out through the gap anywhere through the top

and the 18 pin PIC chip works great

Amiga1992 · 31 October 2017, 18:41

Yeah but will it work? The IDE is not buffered.

kgc210 · 31 October 2017, 19:21

You could also use an IDE - SD adaptor and one of them flexible extensions, then you wouldn't need to bring power out of the CD32.

@akira ive had success with a long ide cable .

kgc210 · 02 November 2017, 23:28

I am down to my last 6 riser boards now.

Although I do have another batch on their way.

screemo · 06 November 2017, 12:52

I just received mine today, and very pleased with it

- highly recommended !

screemo · 06 November 2017, 12:53

Btw, could you direct me to a good RGB->HDMI combo of cable and upscaler box ?

kgc210 · 24 November 2017, 16:22

Updated first post with reduced pricing and untracked option with Euro / USA.

MickGyver · 29 November 2017, 11:13

Interested in 2, do they come with the DB23 connectors?
