What does "Behr-Bonz" mean? Is that German?

I have received a correction from Eslapion; though he lets me pay in US dollars, he normally requires *Canadian* dollars.

Robert understands that I am happy to make a positive contribution to the VIC community but I am extremely busy right now with my responsibilities at the university.

Thank you for your help Robert.

Odd. You had enough time to make 17 posts at Lemon today.

So is the Behr-Bonz a "behr" printed circuit board like the one shown at the World of Commodore or a finished cartridge like the MegaCart will be?

This announcement does seem to be missing some important info, like a picture of what we'd be purchasing, and the cost of shipping within Canada.

I love it when you bitch at me Golan... thank you for telling me what to do with my life. I really need your guidance.

The board at WoC was hand made but well working. A little bug had to be ironed out and as soon as it worked fine, it found its way in the office of my new PCB designer. It took only one hour to complete in Altium DXP 6.

As for the Megacart, well, it looked as handmade as mine at WoC... I am not going to say that it didn't work. It think it would have worked just fine if it had been demoed on a well working VIC and just in case anybody has any doubts, yes, I would have been glad to lend my working VIC if I had known that was the problem.

I can't give a picture of the final product because the boards aren't out of the fab yet.

The PCB of the Behr Bonz cart is about the same size as the board inside any commodore made VIC-20 game cart. And it has been designed so you can put it in a VIC game cart plastic case. It has the proper screw hole in the center for that.

Shippping to canada depends on your postal code. Canada Posts has just modified their pricing. Generally, it varies from 7$ to 11$.

Shipping to the US is 8$, Europe is 9$.
