A new batch of 28-24 pin adapter boards?

eslapion · Post by **eslapion** » Fri May 11, 2007 6:49 am

Hi there,
Recently I was contacted by 2 different people who indicated they would be interested in buying some more 28-24 pin adapters to allow the use of standard 2764-27128-27256 (E)PROM chips in the sockets of VIC/64/1541 commodore equipment.

Since I myself would also need a good number of these then this means I am just about ready to get a new batch made.

Anybody else want some of these? Now is the time to say it cuz the larger the order, the lower the cost per unit.

Thank you all!

=====================================
Added edit:
Last year, we were 6 people in all to combine together an order of 150 of them and the final cost was 2.10$ US per unit.

Shipping is:

6$ to Canada
7$ to the US
9$ to europe

So the more you order, the lower the final cost per unit.

I hope you don't mind (I can't imagine that you would) that I've been spreading the word about the bulk purchase. There seems to be quite a bit of interest.

You will need those sockets cuz the adapters don't include the socket and they don't include the pin headers needed on the bottom.

I am selling exactly the same thing as last year. PCBs only.

Suggested pin headers:

http://www.digikey.com and search for 350-10-164-00-006000

64 pins you can breakaway, 2 of these will do 5 boards (each boards require 24 pins)

OR

A much cheaper equivalent of the digikey pin header can be found here:

You can always use the excess female connectors for DIP sockets replacements.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE!

Next tuesday, I will compile the quantities requested by everyone and I will send a PM to everyone who indicated their interest in the adapters.

Once the quantities are confirmed, I will place the order with the manufacturer.

Since the manufacturer charges a tooling fee of 55$, any and all requests placed after tuesday WILL BE REJECTED.

Also, any and all confirmations received after tuesday WILL BE REJECTED.

In other words, I MUST order all boards at the same time otherwise, it costs 55$ extra and I don't want to pay that because somebody is late.

Last year Alee650 purchased 20 adapter boards like these from me. He put the pin headers and DIP sockets on them and then he sold them for 10GBP each, I think.

He didn't order any this year.

Do u have any pics of the boards? I had gotten a JiffyHack from maurice a few years ago, which is bacially a board/socket/pins from a 24 pin jiffydos with a switch attached and a blank EPROM. Meant to only work with 27128's though.
