H5 BUYERS INTERESTS

[derkom]

I dont really follow the Atari stuff here, so my knowledge of this project is pretty much zero, but it seems popular and that has peaked my interest

First and foremost it's worth pointing out that this is a "build it yourself" project, save for the SMT passives that will come preattached, so if you're just looking to get an ST to tinker with, there are much easier paths.

What Atari model is it closest to?

H5 ordered

Given my glacially slow progress with the second H4, I'd better start the ordering/hunt for a donor system now

When he got 30 motherboards full of crap so that's a lot of the stuff

True...though a lot of the chips for the H5 are not using the same packages as the original STF/M & H4...

First batch of 30 under review....

Seeing how much this order is, it probably would have to have been split over a couple months anyway else it would max out my credit card!

@exxos - I would go with a first 30 batch and see how they turn out. Then if all good go for the next batches.
