Most likely 4-8 weeks after the inital boards are in the hands of the end users and the initial kernel of users are up and running as they can then provide feedback and some support the 2nd wave...

I would definitely be interested in this as I want MSII for using the GPIO board for MegaShift, but need 6 cyl wasted spark COP.

RE: funds for the boards

Post by WolfGTI »

With regards to the funds, I sent the money order out to the wrong address and got it back RTS. Anyways I had to get cancel the original postal money order because it also had the wrong address fort the recipient. I put the new one with the correct address etc in the mail to Marc via express US mail this morning - I have asked him to contact me to confirm receipt of it - sorry for the mistake on my part.

Incase anyone is wondering why I took a little long to get teh 2nd money order out - the Post office refunds money orders by check and I had to wait 5 business days to get their refund check. Then I was out of town for a week due to work, however I as stated before I took care of it this morning - again my apologies.

Payment has arrived today

Post by ca434sbc4 »

I rec'd payment from Wolf tonight. I need to refersh the quote from the PCB shop as it's over 30 days, once I get the final price then I'll place the order and 10 to 14 days later the boards should arrive. Once I do a physical inspection I'll ship them out.

What is left to do is to update the parts list and post it on the MS site which I will do after the boards are ordered.

Just found the post...
Is it too late for getting into the list for a kit?
I'm live-beta testing MSII 2.67 and I need wasted spark from MSnS-E...
Thanks.

The 3 people that decided to participate in the group buy made a substantial $$$ contribution to get the beta boards made. In all fairness to them I cannot offer the beta boards.

I do have 2 alpha boards left, you could get one of them however they don't have serial comm's on them.

I have been informed that the boards are in Marc's hands. He will maile them to me next week and I will mail them to the individuals that are contributed for this production run. I will be out of town for the July 4th holiday from Jun28th through July 5th. If the boards do not get to me before I leave, I will be sure to send them out when I get back.
