[Coco] RGB2VGA Converter Build Update, Issues Found, Wordpak2+ Build Resumes

[Kip Koon]

Hi Joe and Everyone,
These are the possibilities for shipping.
DHL/FedEx Global Express (2 to 3 days Service) : $32.30
FedEx International Economy (5 to 7 days Service) : $25.84
UPS Express is also available, but you have to have your own account.  
So it looks like $79 for the Altera DE-0 Nano plus $25.84 shipping from Taiwan equals a total of $104.84.  Please send the funds to my email address - computerdoc at sc.rr.com - via Paypal as Friends or Family only and make sure your bank account has been verified by Paypal.  Verified accounts pay no fee.  Thank you.

> Hi RGB2VGA Lovers,
> 
> I have finished building the RGB2VGA Converter PCBs today as they were originally designed.  What does this mean you ask?  No 3rd
> Bit Blue Color Component Modifications have been installed yet.  I thought I'd take this opportunity to ask all of you who have a
> confirmed order who would like me to test their RGB2VGA Converter PCB out before I ship it to them.  If so, I need you to either send
> me the funds to order the Altera DE-0 Nano including shipping from Terasic.com so I can order it for you or have the supplier drop ship
> it to me so I can program the on-board FPGA  for you, mate the two PCBs together and test the unit in actual operation.  If I
> remember correctly, I know at least one person wants a plug 'n' play style setup - no mess, no fuss.  That is fine, I just need to know.
> Unless anyone has a better source, I recommend using Terasic.com to order the Altera DE-0 Nano FPGA Development Platform.  I'll
> need a power supply for each Altera DE-0 Nano ordered.
> 
> I do have one problem that has cropped up.  I thought I had 11 confirmed paid orders with on unconfirmed order, but I actually have
> 12 paid orders and 11 completed PCBs for the RGB2VGA Converter Orders.  I know this is a lot to ask, but I need one individual to
> volunteer to wait for the next order.  I only need two more people to make this happen minimum.  I know a few more people have
> expressed interest in the RGB2VGA Converter so I hope it won't take very long to get this new order together.  I was wanting to wait a
> bit longer before going ahead with another order, but with this new dilemma I need to go ahead and move forward with this order
> now.  If it is just a few orders, the price will be the same, but if there is 20 more orders, then I can get a lower cost for the PCB from
> OSHPark.
> 
> As some of you have also ordered Wordpak2+ PCBs, I am resuming that build tonight.  I want to see how far I get.  I do have a ways to
> go yet on the
> Wordpak2+ PCBs at this point.  I do not have game cartridges for these
> Wordpak2+ PCBs.  If anyone has extra game paks they are willing to sell
> Wordpak2+ me,
> or they can 3D print some game paks for me, I would really appreciate you letting me know as soon as possible.  If you want to 3D
> print some, please get with me first as I need an opening for the VGA connector.  Thank you all in advance for helping me.
> 
> This has been an illuminating experience for me with several lessons learned (I hope. :P) which I will want to utilize and take advantage
> of in my next round of PCBs. Thank you all for your interest, patience and trust in me and in this project and for being willing to help a
> fellow CoCoNut get to this year's CoCoFEST.  I really do appreciate it very much.  Take care my friends.  Starfleet Out!  Qaplah!  End
> Transmission!
