Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Ordering Snark Barker MCA (Sound Boaster clone) PCBs -- Want One?
Thanks, Z. Did you already build one? - Alex On Mon, Nov 30, 2020 at 17:32 Alexander Pierson via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Bill,
This is a build-it-yourself project. The Snark Barker is an exact clone, so it's exclusively through hole.
Only the PCB is included. If others wanted, I could source the parts necessary, but I'd need at least a few others interested.

All,
I'm in the process of ordering PCBs for the Snark Barker MCA (microchannel), which was just announced, here: https://twitter.com/TubeTimeUS/status/1333123576346468352
The design files and BOM can be found here: https://github.com/schlae/snark-barker-mca
I'll be ordering from PCBway, who does gold fingers, so that the boards will be able to be able to be repeatedly inserted, without wearing out the contacts.
Is anyone else interested? The cost (at quantity 5) would be about $34+shipping, per PCB. The cost should go down with a bigger order, should more than 4 others want boards. I could probably be convinced to make the parts order, as well, if folks want.
Thanks! - Alex
Alex, Yes I would like an MSA card please. I think this is a great opportunity, the ps/2s are solid machines Bill Degnan. On Mon, Nov 30, 2020, 6:05 PM Alexander Jacocks via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Me? No, I don't have any MCA PS/2 machines to use an SB-MCA with, or any PS/2 machines for that matter. I was privy to some of Eric's debug process, particularly the last bits figuring out a unique DMA condition that prevented the release of the design until recently. I've built an ISA Snark Barker, that was fun.

OK, so I finally got my order approved at PCBWay. I’ve got quantity 5 PCBs for $152+shipping. So around $30 each. Who is in for the final order? If there are more than 4 others, I can increase quantity. - Alex On Mon, Nov 30, 2020 at 19:04 Alexander Pierson <ajpierson1@yahoo.com> wrote:
