Title: the Return of Moran 1.0: region mod PCBs to be available soon!
Post by: D-Lite on August 29, 2007, 10:56:46 PM

As some of you may know, grahf designed a PCB for the region modification that allows us to no longer require a physical 8PDT switch.  That little PCB, just bigger than a quarter, fits in everything and makes region modification of PCE/Core type systems and even the GT/Express possible.  Unfortunately, grahf is out of the country for the foreseeable future for some higher education, so the boards had become unavailable.

To make a long story short, I asked Ben if he would allow me to continue producing the boards for him, using his template completely unaltered and such is now the case.  I have an order of the PCBs due within the next two weeks and I've sourced the chips for the PCB as well.  The boards will be identical to his design and include "Moran 1.0" as a reminder of the member that laid them out :)

As for pricing, at the moment I don't plan on changing Ben's pricing structure which I need to confirm with him.

Stay tuned!

Are these compatible with PCE Duo, Duo R, and RX systems too?

Yea I was wondering if he was planning to continue this service considering he was moving. Nice to know a deal was stuck to keep it going.

Dude without your iron you will go out of your mind and hang out with this hot blond married chick. Then you will hang out with a guy with the nickname Charlie Brown singing karaoke drunk and stoned. Be careful.

Its a good thing i'm poor now, because there are a TON of fun, interesting, and just plain crazy things to spend your time and money on in Japan. Being a poor student sucks.
