I just wanted to pass on my thanks for releasing these. I have built up a handful for use with my Atari computers. Even fits in my Mega ST keyboard.

I have order all the parts and PCB and waiting for them to arrive. So I will also be building up a few of these in a near future.

Thanks! Looks a beauty. I like the white finish.

Cheers,

The 1287s seem to be a bit on the rare side at the moment. I hope you're not waiting until December like I was quoted!

I've got 15x PCBs with me now, so I'll eventually build enough for others who can't solder it up themselves. @DoG @kodak80 do you guys have an easy mouser/farnell saved shopping list of parts you could share with me? Cheers

I just order a bunch of parts from DigiKey but totally forgot that I had ordered these PCB, so no parts for this project was added. But I got all of the parts anyway, I think, except the IC of course.

I got dodgy IC from eBay, so I don't have high hope for them. Initially I was just ordering the PCBs and thought that it was going to be a fun little project in the future.
