Tecnobytes V9990 New Batch

[chilli_taff]

Just to let you know I've had an email through apologising for the delay and the paypal invoice.

All good

[zhulien]

My invoice came through a few hours ago

[Evildead666]

Same here, came through today.Not in Spam folder

[HigashiJun]

Received mine too.

[HigashiJun]

And I would like to thank zhulien for his involvement in helping us getting this nice piece of hardware.

Thank you zhulien !

[zhulien]

Welcome but all credit really goes to the original team that includes Prodatron, all i did was convince tecnobytes to run another batch.  With luck more software will come out on Symbos and perhaps Amsdos eventually to get enough interest for future batches. For now the CPC v9990 community is very small.

Just paid my invoice:)

[HigashiJun]

Received a confirmation for my payment.

Tecnobytes delivery forecast will be in 2 and half months from the total payment of the group.

[zhulien]

Hi, I have an update from Tecnobytes - 15 customers have paid, 11 they are still waiting for - I have PM'd the 11, please check your SPAM.

[teopl]

I saw email just yesterday and sent them email asking for payment details.

I need just 2 things:

- PayPal destination
- amount in euro or $

[JayBlood]

Thanks to Zhulien. I ordered mine today.

[zhulien]

Update, some people have not yet paid their invoice, I have asked if any new latecomers can be added to the batch (this week) - and although I haven't yet got a response, if you do want a gfx card and are not already listed send me the following details ASAP and I will forward them on to tecnobytes and with some luck you will be able to get a gfx card too.


Latecomers!

Just sent a PM re: the latecomer list.

Instead of using a VGA 15 Hz monitor which can be hard to find, it seems this item could be used using a TV with SCART :
https://www.tindie.com/products/spark2k06/monochromergb/
Seller is in Spain.
VGA at 15.7Khz horizontal frequency to SCART with automatic 4:3 <-> 16:9 aspect change for compatible TVs, being necessary 5V power supply via microUSB or from the VGA connector itself. This is possible thanks to the implementation of another project, called The ultimate VGA to SCART adapter

[zhulien]

Just sent a PM re: the latecomer list.

I haven't received any PM from you yet.

[zhulien]

We now have 5 more people remaining to pay their invoices, please those who I have PM'd pay your invoice asap.


Thanks

[megatronuk]

I haven't received any PM from you yet.

I think I must have clicked the "send email" form, rather than "send message". PM now definitely sent 

[megatronuk]

Invoice received and paid!


Anyone have any inside info over whether a new MSX batch is coming in the future?

[Prodatron]

As far as I understand there is a parallel MSX V9990 batch as well from Tecnobytes currently.

[zhulien]

We have had a few cancellations and a couple of others filling in their spots - unfortunately so far it 'may' be 1 spot more than they are going to produce, but i have forwarded the details anyhow as I hope they can fulfill all spots.  This batch size is 24 units, possibly 25 if they will make an additional one.   I have record of 24 sales so I am awaiting a verification of their list of 25 vs my list of 24 - perhaps someone ordered 2 units.

[kawickboy]

Hello, my invoice was lost in spam box, but it is now canceled. Any issue to re-activate it ?

[zhulien]

I will ask tecnobytes

[zhulien]

Hi Everyone, Just an update from Tecnobytes - 25 orders so far, they said we needed 24 to get the go ahead, almost everyone has paid.  And... there are actually 5 more cards available. So, I guess their batch is of 30 units.

[HigashiJun]

I guess it's the last chance to get your V9990 for your CPC, as Tecnobytes won't probably make new batches indefinitely...

[zhulien]

From what I gather, there are 2 issues for future batches.  First is that the components are getting forever harder for them to obtain although I am sure someone could create an fpga solution from the existing msx cores out there - if they support v9990 that is.  Secondly is how many CPC users actually want one.  I believe every now and then there will be a bunch of CPC users enough to justify a new batch.
