Added modem7's diagrams to the Git repo, and linked to his site in the README.
Boards arrived today!
One slight problem -- KiCad apparently changed cathode designations on diodes and LEDs between the version that the rev 2 board schematic was created with, and the new KiCad libs. So the LED is backwards on the silkscreen. I also eliminated a discrete resistor by using a spare from one of the resistor packs. Other than that, it works!
As you can see from the picture, the board house I do prototype runs with wasn't able to do selective hard gold for the edge connector. I'm getting quotes from a few of the production shops I've used in the past, including PCBCart, which I believe is who did the rev 2 run. I'll probably remove the unused ISA fingers to save on plating costs.
Sorry, been super busy with this project, as well as day-job work! I must've missed your question. Typically in the past I've sold the rev 2 boards for $100 assembled or $85 if the buyer didn't want the UART bits. I'm hoping to offer the rev 3 to *hobbyists* at $85 each, assembled, but it will depend on what kitting up actually costs. I'd previously been running from stocks of ICs that were basically surplus from other day-job billable work so I don't have a solid figure on what the parts kits will cost right this moment.
Assembled of course really means "assembled and tested."
I'm having trouble getting it to work, It won't boot from hdd and fdisk reports "no fixed disks" Is there some kind of menu I can enter to test if the card is working?
You said that you are trying to get the full kit to a price of $85 when it is assembled, how much would the price be if i need to assembled it my self?
glitch said:Bare Board $8
Parts Kit (KIT ONLY, NO BOARD) $20
Assembled unit $85
Shipping in the US as follows:
Bare Board (up to 3) $5
Parts Kit (up to 3) $7 (USPS Flat Rate Box)
Assembled Unit (up to 2) $7 (USPS Flat Rate Box
I have a bad fealing now. It does ram count then tries floppy. After this it starts basic. No new messages relating to the xt-ide.
Did you choose a ROM address that conflicts with something else in your system? Is the ROM enabled (SW1 ENA should be ON)
Hmm, doesn't sound like there should be any conflicts. Those switch settings should be the default of 0xD000 for ROM and 0x300 I/O base. You said the EEPROM programmed fine using the DOS utility?
Yes, no errors after selecting 64 page size and flashing. This was on a pentium II system running 98se with a pci ethernet card, pci soundblaster and a ati rage II on agp. Could I have flashed something else?
