Now this news were a pretty nifty christmas present!
Glad to have you back!

Hey!
I've just received this news while staying in Bucharest for a V5 6k card, couldn't even imagine a better Christmas!:)
Very happy to see you aboard again!!! Let's rock!
Should you need any help in any stage of producing prototype / finished boards, feel free to contact me.
And again, really happy that you are doing well!

Just read the news! I've been busy with family, so haven't frequented the boards. But this is awesome news! Glad to hear you're back Shock! Hope each day is better than the previous!

Awesome news. Following this with great interest

Still waiting for payment from my sidejob so funding doesn't run dry ... but hey, I can borrow a scope from their place for even better debugging.

Money just arrived ... therefore Prototypes will be ordered tomorrow/thursday and should be here in 2 weeks.
Really excited about this now 😀

awesome news!!! so glad to have you back shock___ !

I don't have much interest in the end product I gotta admit but the skill / effort required to get it to this point is just mind blowing - well done mate.

😁 Thats great news shock__

Nice to see you here again Shock!

Hurray for prototypes!

Cool news, shock__!

Hurray for the ARGUS!

Oh yeah! <insert> *Irish Jig*

awesome news! 😊

I'm subscribing to this thread as well. I've been watching it for a while now. I'd like to purchase a kit when one becomes available. Keep up the good work, and thank you for preserving / sharing a piece of history with us!

Need to contact Keropi for assembly.... 🤣

I actually want to assemble it myself. I have all the required equipment and I'm pretty confident in my soldering (regular and SMD) skills. It can't be any harder then replacing a TMU on a voodoo 2.

Basically I need the PCB, components and instructions or detailed shots of the finished product 😀 I'll be a fun project.

Also (possibly a stupid question - don't bite my head off) - could it be possible to include a PCI to ISA bridge chip on the same PCB and make a PCI version of this card? That would be kick-ass.

I was going to purchase proper equipment to do this and practice, but having almost ZERO time right now, I'll leave my board assembly in much more capable hands. 😎

You'll have to do a thread of your assembly, maybe a video! I've watched a lot of PCB assembly solder videos on youtube, and it looks straight forward after a lot of practice, but actually seeing one of these being put together would be awesome.

Maybe Keropi can make a video of doing mine? 😉 Keropi? 😎

^ heh maybe if I find a way to fix my phone in a position that can capture video OK... it's 720p camera so the vid will be good (lumia with a zeiss lens) for this... but it's not gonna be anything spectacular, just soldering stuff 🤣 🤣 🤣
