Thanks - that is interesting to hear. We have occassionally been pondering about doing a product box, and/or physical driver/utilities floppy disks. Another idea that I had been playing around in my head was to redistribute my "CRT Terminator enabled" fork of https://github.com/juj/foray_in_the_forest/ on a disk. Though so far we haven't quite jumped on making anything in this area.

Well one thing that can be done /should be done is to have a single zip file with the essential utilities for easy download. That way people can just get one file and get everything they need.

Very cool pic! That sad slimy Varta is a nice touch 😁

Today I successfully tested the CRT Terminator with my Trident 2MB VLB graphics card. Lots of games and a few demos. No problems so far.

Hello clb, I would like to join the order queue for CRT Terminator but the order form on the website is not working for me. Any help with ordering appreciated.

Hi duri,

it looks like something got hung with HTTPS certificate in the database server. I've updated the script now, can you try again to see if it works?

Hey, thanks for pinging. It is still in the pipes and coming. I tried to get it out the door before end of June, though then had a surprise two week work trip, and went on overtime holiday after that. In July I took a break from PC stuff altogether to unwind a bit.

Now reading back the message thread here, when I wrote the earlier message, I remember I thought I was in a "I'll get this out in a week" stage, but, of course that's how these things go..

The next firmware will come with a new GUI based settings utility, which is where the majority of the development has gone into. The card adds new internal diagnostics items that allow testing the different board features, and configuring its usage. There is one more item I am working on to add into the utility, after which everything should be good to go. Now that I am back to work, Hopefully only a week or two. Fingers crossed.
