I am interested too

Still intrested.

Filled in the form. Just found a Contura at work, which is excellent except for having no sound - so need a solution now! This card is amazing, have been following the PicoGus and PicoMem projects, and having this for PCMCIA is awesome.

Getting close. I need to get an idea on current interest/demand to finalize.

Any updates on this? I have two Pi W's waiting.

Still very interested!

Place thy hope, and it shall be granted unto thee

there is somebody else working on a PCMCIA SoundCard and making what looks like good progress:
https://github.com/yottatsa/card_barker

tl;dr the design is working if anyone wants to order the board, connector, and chips, and assemble it themselves.

Are all necessary chips available? The github page has this warning re Zilog and Yamaha chips.
How much do you ask for the kit, btw?

My DMs are not working.

Those chips are not readily available. There are some Zilog controllers on eBay, and I haven't seen any Yamaha chips recently. Octoparts shows availablility from Chinese resellers tho. Also, I don't have parts to provide kits.

Tho, if you procure the boards and chips, and assemble them, feel free to sell the results.

Does this have game/midi on any of the chips?
