Some prototype-ish things :)

- Q-buck regulators - 7805 replacements designed specifically for the QL

- A lifetime supply of Minerva EPROM boards.

- A little something for the Commodore C128 too.

Does CE on the regulators mean China Export?

It means I'm self-certifying that the assembled boards meet RoHS requirements.

ooooOOoo
When might we expect to see the Minny and Q-Buck boards available?
As ever, no pressure

The Minnie boards quite quickly.
The Q-Buck boards, I have to test them very, very thoroughly for a while so a little longer.

I guess you know there is much more involved than just RoHS requirements?
It also requires certificates about radio frequencys and safety etc.

I guess I do know that, yes.

Paul,
How come you're so offended by the CE self-certification?
Nasta and I went to a lot of trouble to design and order prototype parts that - if passed - could go immediately on sale. Lead free RoHS-compliant boards and components designed so that, "in a properly designed system" they will meet FCC and CISPR 22 part A (and for the buck regulator, also part B) requirements. They meet all other safety/content requirements, including lead-free HASL (C128 and Minnie boards) or ENIG (Q-Buck) materials.
If you want to take issue with that, maybe you'd like to take it up with us privately?
