Region Mod board wanted for Turbo Express
« on: October 03, 2010, 02:59:19 AM »
Hey,

I am a fan of the region mod switch for Turbo Duo and TG-16 systems. However, I am at a crunch for space for my Turbo Express and wondering if anyone still has a region mod board they could sell since I don't have much interest in making my own using IC's. Let me know.

Or if someone else has a suggestion on where to locate a region switch on a Turbo Express I am all ears.

I just built one yesterday for my Duo.  I could possibly make you one if you're interested.  Its only about $6 in parts to make.  Takes about an hour to do right.  If its for an express tho, I'd probably like to find a slightly smaller breadboard than the one I used, it had some extra holes on each side.

This is what It looked like..

The D-Lite ones were definitely smaller, which might make all the difference. Sorry, I was stupid and only bought one, which I've since installed.

If you take you're time you can do it without a board. I started one and I just stacked the chips on top of each other and wired it up. Just haven't gotten back to it to finish it yet.
I think I got the idea from a female modder from the UK, what was her handle???...

She is, here and on eBay. I just bought about 5 AV cables from her and they arrived in 4 days and were of better quality than OEM.

heres a circuit that should make the board half the size.
note there two unused channels on this chip that could be used for a latch circuit.
note the short leads to board, long to cart.

Hmm looks like I can only find ssop or tsop ics... I prefer through mount ic (dip?) Since I know how go solder them.  Guess its time for some surface mount tools :lol:

i use a standard temp controlled iron on them.
you just wet the pads with solder, place the chip and heat the legs for reflow
works for non PBG surface mount IC's, transistors, resistors, diodes ect
