+Ksarul Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Here is AMSTEST V4, which is what you need for the SW99ers version of the card and for the current 1M version. AMSTEST4.DSK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_gw454 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hi everyone - I realize this is an older thread, but wondering if the Super AMS board is still available? I hear there is at least one new game coming out that requires it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I build them to order, and I also make them available on the ArcadeShopper site. I think he has two up right now, but if they are already gone I'll have half a dozen more ready within the next week or so (the boards are actually ready, but I used the last of my 74LS04s for the first three so I'm waiting on my resupply to arrive). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 If I wanted to have a flex cable interface card made, who would I talk to? If I do not win Globeron's auction (or worse, he cannot ship it internationally at the price point stated), I will need one should I embark down building a PEB. My electrician skills are abhorrent. Much better at planing material and fab requirements, than handling an iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ksarul, I appreciate the quick response. I did check Greg's site, but it says he's out of stock. Could you add me to a list for one? Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 ArcadeShopper may not have posted the two I told him were ready yesterday (yet)--but I will keep one from the next batch on hand for you if he doesn't respond here first.

FDOS Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I'm more interested in a side car for a 1 MB SAMS. I started such a project a year or so ago, more like a mini-PEB, as it was intended for 3 expansion cards. Unfortunately, my physical capabilities keep going down hill, so not able to to complete that project. I've also came to the conclusion, that a better project would be a 1 MB SAMS side car suitable for replacing the 32K card use for the more popular TIPI system. Anyone else interested?

Bill That would be ideal for someone like me. Very interested in such a project. Was also wanting RS232, and almost decided on the Nano-PEB at first, but ultimately decided to go TIPI. If someone could make a board that sandwiches in-between the 32K (or future SAMS board) and TIPI to provide RS232 that would be great.
