30.07.2022 - VIC-II Kawari Update #7 - Some 'Mini' PCBs available for sale on eBay
This is Randy Rossi's final update on this project. He has eBay listings for a batch of 'Mini' PCBs (No HDMI/RGB) as well as a handful of the 'Large' model (with HDMI/RGB). It's been a challenging project. He can repeat the 'Mini' orders and can also easily produce the 'POV' models but the 'Large' boards are going to take some more time since the Spartan6 is not available anymore.
