Pre-Orders: Final Expansion 3 Rev 11 [2nd Batch]
Post by SkydivinGirl - Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:33 pm

This thread is for pre-ordering a Final Expansion 3 Rev 11 from the 2nd batch.
The first batch is sold out. I need at least 14 paid pre-orders before I will
order parts. Because of this, I cannot give a definitive delivery time frame
until I order parts. 
No refunds will be given after parts are ordered.

e5frog and SkydivinGirl are happy to present the VIC-20 Final Expansion 3 Rev
11.

This revision of the Final Expansion 3 is functionally equivalent to both the
Rev 9 and Rev 10 versions that have been sold in the past. It features the
following:

-   Built-In Menu System.
-   A Built-in SD2IEC drive capable of running the latest SD2IEC firmware.
-   SD2IEC EEPROM File System (Beta). Allows you to store some files in the
SD2IEC without using an SD card. See SD2IEC documentation for usage.
-   Diskloader to access files on the SD2IEC from the menu system.
-   Battery Backed Real Time Clock (RTC) for accurate Time/Date stamps on
SD2IEC.
-   512KB configurable memory expansion.
-   512KB Programmable ROM. Flash your programs to ROM directly from your
VIC-20.
-   FE3 DOS Wedge with SJLoad (JiffyDOS Compatible Load/Save).
-   Dual Reset Buttons - Resets current running configuration or back to menu.

The Final Expansion 3 Rev 11 has the following changes:

-   Dual IEC Headers allow you to use standard IEC cables as well as connect
other IEC devices to your VIC-20 at the same time.
-   IEC cables can still be soldered directly to the PCB in place of the IEC
headers if you prefer. Strain relief holes are provided on the PCB to allow for
this type of assembly.
-   Component changes to allow for easier sourcing of parts and assembly of the
kit.
-   Tactile switches allow for easier case mounting and removal of the case
when replacing the Battery.
-   Downloadable 3D case designed by COREi64. (See Below)
-   One of three labels to match the case mounting option of your choice:
Standard VIC-20 case without IEC Headers (cable directly wired), Standard
VIC-20 case with IEC headers (top case cut to accommodate IEC Headers), or
COREi64 designed case.
-   EEPROM pre-programmed with games by Jeffrey Daniels of the VIC-20 DENIAL
Website.

COREi64 has a case for the Final Expansion 3 Rev 11. The case is not included
with a kit or assembled device. You can purchase it from his web store,
Shapeways, or download the files to print yourself!

I have 25 Units available for this batch. These units are available in either
Kit form to assemble yourself or fully assembled devices. There are some
surface mount components. I will mount these components free for people who
want kits but are unable to 
mount these parts themselves.

One label is included with each kit/device. There are four different labels to
choose from.

Standard Shell

Standard Shell with DIN Cutouts

Standard Shell with DIN and Switch Cutouts

COREi64 Case

Pre-Order Pricing:

$65.00 - Kit + Label **

$110.00 - Fully Assembled & Tested + Label

$1 - Each Additional Label

Money from pre-orders is used to purchase parts. Therefore, no refunds can be
given on pre-orders. You will receive the products you purchase.

** Kits are guaranteed to have all the parts and they will be shipped in a new
box with adequate packing material to protect the parts. I cannot be
responsible if a device you assemble does not work. I will work with you to
perform troubleshooting and 
help in any way I can.

Shipping Notice: Each device is about 6 Ounces. Shipping one device to most
countries outside the USA will cost around $13.50. Shipping more than one
device will cost around $22.50. Please send me your mailing address via PM
along with the number of kits/
devices you want so I can get you an accurate shipping quote. Shipping to
Canada is less expensive than other International destinations. Shipping up to
three kits within the USA is $7.15. Shipping multiple assembled devices may
cost more. If shipping 
prices change between the time you place your pre-order and the actual shipping
date, you will be responsible for the difference.

I also have C8D Joystick Switchers available.

PAYPAL NOTICE

Payment must be paid via PayPal Gift/Personal Payment. I no longer accept
standard PayPal payments.

Please read the following before contacting me to buy:

Please be courteous of my time. If you do not contact me after I take the time
to get a shipping quote and send it to you then I will not sell anything to you
in the future. All I ask is that you respond, even if the shipping quote is too
high or 
something comes up and you can't afford it.

A huge thanks to Diddl and everyone who has worked on the Final Expansion 3. I
also could not have offered this project without the tireless efforts of
e5frog. He does amazing PCB design and I'm happy to have partnered with him to
bring another amazing 
kit to the community.
