Digital Group Video Cards in Hand!

I’ve had the layout done for a while, but haven’t had time to build them. Thinking I might as well get the PCBs made, I finally pulled the trigger.

DG Video Card

As far as building and testing them goes, free time is still scarce, and I will not get the needed 5MHz crystal until early December, but I have the rest of the parts on hand or arriving shortly. I may be able to build them and run them with an external frequency source, so the lack of a crystal may not be a complete show-stopper. It may or may not be quite a while before I get them up and running.

One other thing. I explored getting these boards made in China, but since I had a batch made, the end cost was about the same as using Advanced Circuits. Getting one or two made would be vastly cheaper if I had them done in China, but I always have taken the chance and have reasonable sized batches made.

Original Digital Group Video Cards are scarce, but I don’t believe that the market for these cards will be very big. I expect the 20 that I had made, will cover the demand, plus some.
