I got a stack of 15 or so pole position boards a while back, and realized I sold all my interconnect boards, and couldn't do anything with 'em...

I just found some more 60-pin edge connectors at a price I'm willing to pay, so I just ordered boards to build more Pole Position / I, Robot / Xevious / Cloak & Dagger interconnects.

Boards should be here within a couple weeks (trying out a new place), and once I give the boards a once-over I'll order some connectors, so these should be ready to ship within a month...
 
Boards have been shipped... connectors have been shipped... with any luck I'll be soldering this weekend...

(Not that it appears anyone else is actually interested, so I'm really going to take a bath on these....)
 
I would be interested in a setup so I can test the cpu and video board apart from each other on my bench. Could you build one of those interconnects like that?

I melted a spare interconnect trying to pull this off. I realize now that I needed two interconnect boards to pull this off. One board per connector and then wire both boards to each other with 2 ft of wire or so.

Hope that makes sense...
 
Mark;
I'll take a couple to help out, how much are you asking?
Also, while your at it, can you throw in a SW/ESB kit for me as well.........? ;-)
Peace
Jeff

That might actually be possible, starting with 2 boards....

I put in holes for connectors with both .1" and .2" spacing, so with an edge connector on each board, and headers w/ a ribbon cable going between them, it could work...

I certainly would want to solder 60 wires to do it by hand, but that might be the only option if the pin swapping is backwards using ribbon cables/headers....
 
That would be awesome! Im down because I never made it pass soldering ten wires on my feeble attempt to make an adapter.

Let me know let me know...

I already bought a used one a couple of months ago, so I don't need one unless I find a PP2 board someday. I might be interested in the test bench version though.
 
Boards came in today... soldered one up at lunch to display:
$20 each

(You'll need 2 for I, Robot, but only 1 for the other games).

Just FYI... I tested that on my PP last night and it was happy (kinda hard to screw it up anyway), and I built up another 20...

I'll see if I have the parts to do a 'flexible style' board for test benches tonight, but I doubt I have 60-pin ribbon cables....
