The PCB's have arrived. I assembled one and it worked beautifully. I've got 12 PCB's in total. If there's enough interest I'll have more manufactured.

One problem however - the DE-9 connector is just a little bit too close to the IDE connector. It fits but you need to shove it, or sand it back a little. I'm not happy with the video output connector either. It needs an RCA socket of some sort, but there's no room.

Hello. Yes I know that is 2018 - a few years later..,. Are there any boards made of this ? Or can any be made. Thanks !. I'd be happy to send some money to cover a small quantity of boards.

I didn't have to modify the board at all, I just had to leave two resistors out.

Being a Z80 freak from way back I love this and in fact it's something I've been talking about doing for years. I'd like a board but TBH I would not have the time to do it justice right now, too many other projects.
