It's time to talk about shipping options for these boards to the individual end users.
Are we to pay shipping now when we paypal for the board? For those getting more than 1, (I'm ordering 2 and am in USA), how do we best figure things?

Hi,

Just pay the $46 as i need to calculate the final price for the board (which should be less than the $46. Once i know the final price of the board then any extra monies paid will be deducted from the cost of mailing. Don't worry about it yet. I won't know how much until customs and brokerage fees take their cut.

Can the entire project not be outsourced to China/Korea for cheap manufacturing (including components)?

A friend of mine used to manufacture PCBs (sometimes including the components required) on large scale, so I can try run this past him if it's something worthwhile for him to invest in.

not to mention the legal side of things if somebody was to mass produce it , this is a project and it should stay that way.

cheers mate! glad to see you got the SIP video hybrid chip working. sourcing two of those -03' chips was going to be a real pain as I guess only a3k and a500+ mobos had them..

just realised looking over my custom chips, I have the 2mb PAL agnus, but the ntsc clock chip aargh. must double check my amiga500 mobo to see if its clock chip is pal.. for some reason I thought it was an NTSC clock chip.

have not found a source of easy available oscillator chips.. ebay may be best place for those. so too for the 100mhz oscillator to pair with the 50mhz cpu.

anyone going to use a 33 or 40mhz mc68030 needs to find a 66mhz or 80mhz osc instead of the 100mhz one, since its clock/2.

the oscillator for the CPU needs to be twice the speed, so if you want to use a 50mhz 68030, you need a 100mhz oscillator, full size dip can.

40mhz cpu needs 80mhz osc,
33mhz cpu needs 66mhz osc,
25mhz cpu needs 50mhz osc.

desoldered the osc from my amiga 500 last night. damn, what a bizatch to desolder. solder pads did not want to give. took a lot of work, chip got nice and warm (not too hot to hold or touch) so I wonder if I nuked it or not.

now I'm back to finding a proper pin agnus

Some of the solder joints are hard to desolder because the motherboards have a solid ground plane which basically sucks all the heat away from the joint. Newer boards have thermal pads that are not completely solid ground planes and are easier to remove. The video hybrid is also a pain to remove as that has a solid ground plane on pin 1 and 22. If you have chipquik and a fat solder tip use that as it is the safest way. A heat gun will put a lot of stress on the components that have pins soldered to a solid ground plane.

I do have a chip quik substitute that i can sell to people at a lot lower price than chipquik
