New QL backplane.

Great job

[Dave]

Hi all,

I have sold through all the most expensive DIN connectors and now I am using more affordable components. These are ready to ship today.

New lower pricing is:

With 2 thru connectors: $25 (which is apparently £19.50 or €22.20)
With 3 thru connectors: $31 (which is apparently £24.00 or €27.50)

Shipping to Europe parcel post is flat rate $13.50 £10.50 €12.25 up to half a pound (two backplanes). Within US is $5.

There are only a few left. Paul will take over production when the rest arrive with him.

I see from the tracking that some of the first backplanes arrived today. I look forward to people posting some pics of their new builds

Mine arrived today - thanks Dave!

Very nice build quality, packaged very well and with an instrctcion booklet

Mine also arrived today & I stupidly left it at work.

[Dave]

They are really solid, yes! I like how they came out. After the amount of thought I put into them and the amount of testing they had, I know they're really clean, too.

I hope you get some good use out of them.

Post photos!

Mine also arrived, packaged very well and all right !.

I have tried to connect my QL-GoldCard system with my Qubide clone, but now I have a problem. My QubIDE does not fit because the QubIDE chips with sockets take up a lot of space.

It would be great a QubIDE clone "slim version", with soldered chips on board (without sockets) and on-board CF socket.

You can either desolder the sockets and mount the ICs directly on the PCB, OR you can wait a few months and the answer to all your problems will be available.

Meanwhile, I spent the evening moving this board from Eagle to the new PCB design tool I'm using. It's another leftover from 2014. Soon, all the cool QLs will have one.

This is the bottom side.

Heiiiii Dave, what are these projects?

Stuuuuff!

Don't ask questions! Be patient!
