IDE Group is HERE!

[Shift838]

Hello fellow TI and Geneve Users!

 

The new round of the IDE Group Buy is finally here!

 

It’s amazing that this card is being reborn from it’s original files and designs by Theirry Nouspikel to help get more of these jems in TI and Geneve users PEB units. 

 

I am opening up the PRE-ORDER effective immediately.  The preorder will last through June 25, 2020.  No new pre-orders will be offered for this round.

 

I have quite a few options on the IDE Pre-Order on my store.  Such as IDE2CF, IDE2SD card adapters, SD, CF cards, assemble services and more.  I have also added the option if you would like to purchase my BQ4802 clock module for use with the IDE as a backup to the original BQ4847 that’s in the component kit.  My clock module allows you to change the battery and crystal easily and are currently active components being manufactured.  Please be sure to check out all options for the IDE card when adding it to your shopping cart.

 

If no other options are chose but the IDE card then that is only a BARE PCB, so please review your orders before submitting to ensure everything is as you want it.

 

There are other products in the store to cover if a user is sending me a card from the original run to assemble/test as well as purchasing of a separate IDE component kits, my clock module, etc.

 

I am still working on the 3D case for the IDE2SD adapter.  Just need to get my bed leveled a bit better.  I’ll send an email to anyone that has interest in those, just let me know.

 

If you are purchasing multiple cards then please only select one card and then select the options for that card, go back and repeat.  This will ensure that each card gets flagged correctly on the order.

 

For all buyers please be aware that shipping will be collected in a separate invoice when the item(s) are ready for shipment.  This is to ensure that shipping and packaging are accurately calculated since there are many options that are offered on this pre-purchase and weight can be a factor of multiple cards and other items can be ordered.  The IDE card and items will not be shipped until the shipping invoice is paid.

 

All items will be shipped with tracking numbers for US and International as well as insurance for the amount of the invoice with no exceptions.  All US packages will be shipped with US Priority Mail.  For all international packages all custom forms will be submitted with accurate counts and value of items being shipped.  Buyers will be responsible for paying any custom fees associated with the package or contents. 

 

No Batteries will be shipped if purchasing my SHIFT838 Clock module.  This requires a CR2032 battery, which is easily obtainable.

 

IDE cards will be smoke tested and burned in prior to shipping.

 

I suspect it will take about 3 weeks to get the PCBs once ordered.  The components will take 2 to 3 weeks as well. 

 

Orders will be filled by invoice number, so first in equals first out.  I believe I will have quite a few cards to build, so please be patient.  You can always check up on your order of where it is in the stack by emailing me directly.  Please include your invoice/order #.

 

Cancellations are not permitted as once the orders go in for the components and PCBs the items are already paid for.

Preorders placed. ?

[+FarmerPotato]

Online order replaces what we put into the spreadsheet? I placed my order online.

 

Also I was not sure what this meant:

>I am opening up the PRE-ORDER effective immediately.  The preorder will last through June 25, 2020.  No new pre-orders will be offered for this round.

 

Does 'No new pre-orders' mean nobody but  those who pre-pre-ordered on the spreadsheet, or can anyone join, thru Jun 25?

The spreadsheet was just to gauge interest of what people wanted.

 

Pre-order will go through June 25, 2020 at which time I will 0 out the quantity so no new pre-orders can be done.  On June 26, 2020 I will order all the components and PCB manufacturing.

 

Anyone can order through June 25, 2020, they don't have to be on the spreadsheet.  As long as all orders are in by June 25, 2020 @ 11:59 p.m. CST

 

Truth be told I will probably not disable the pre-order until I get my but out of bed on June 26, 2020 at 7:00 a.m. CST

Delightful conversation with Chris the other night who helped me sort out the options on an IDE card order.  At this rate, I may be looking at a PEB splitter and a second box!

@Shift838

Hi, if I order an IDE with the SD-adapter, is there a standard IDE-connector on the board where the adapter

is connected with like an IDE drive ?

Means, can I use a standard IDE disk drive with the "IDE-Card with SD-Adapter" by just unplugging this adapter ?

 

thx

yes, there is.  You will need the drive cable as well as the power cable.

@Shift838

If I add the "Component Kit" (to populate my own board),

do I also have to add the "Shift838 Clock Module" ?

Means, is a clock included in the Component Kit ? If so, which one ?

 

PS: And where do I find this SRAM-thing ? Or is this the "Shift838 Clock Module" ?

if you want to populate your own board you can add a separate component kit from the main store, not the one that's an option for the IDE card add on.

 

Link to separated component kit:  HERE

 

You don't need my clock module for the card unless you want the ability to easily change the battery of the clock as the BQ4847 you cannot change the battery.

 

Link to my clock module separate from the IDE card is HERE

 

If you are sending me cards from a previous run to assemble and you are sending components to me then all you need is the assembly fee HERE

 

If you are sending me blank PCBs and want me to assembled and provide the components for the blank PCBs then you will need a component kit and assembly fee for each.

 

hope that makes sense.

[+Schmitzi]

yes, maximum sense

@Shift838

 

So my last question (for today ) is:

 

I found this:

2x Assembly Fee a 75,00        150,00       https://shift838.fwscart.com/index.aspx?pageid=5569983&prodid=20532062
2x Component Kit a 115,00$   230,00       https://shift838.fwscart.com/index.aspx?pageid=5569983&prodid=20531831 
3x Clock Modul a 30,00            90,00       https://shift838.fwscart.com/index.aspx?pageid=5569983&prodid=20533297

 

But I still miss (only available as options with the IDE-preorder that I don´t use)

2x IDE2SD  a 22,00                 44,00        ?
2x Printed SD-Housing                   ?         ?
1x Spare BQ4847 a 15,00        15,00         ?
 

thanks

I have added the BQ4847 clock chip into the store https://shift838.fwscart.com/index.aspx?pageid=5569983&prodid=20541188

 

I have added the IDE2SD into the store for separate purchases https://shift838.fwscart.com/index.aspx?pageid=5569983&prodid=20541192

 

I am still working on the 3d Case.  Before I offer it up for sale I need to print a couple to make sure my 3d print settings are correct.  I will email everyone when that happens.

[+Schmitzi]

 

Order done   thx

 

[Shift838]

If you are reserved your board on the Google sheet please go to my site and complete your order.  The prices quoted for the PCB's are for a quantity of 40 boards, i'm at about 1/2 of that so far.  

 

Thank you,

 

 

[Swim]

Done.

[+TheBF]

Mine went in a while back.  I am getting very tired of compiling from floppy disk.  

[Shift838]

The IDE group buy will end early Friday morning (11/26/20) (Whenever I get up and 0 out the stock) and all parts orders will go in on 11/26/20.  If you want one you will need to go to my store and purchase yours before they are all gone.

 

https://shift838.fwscart.com

 

Remember I am offering assembly services as well as component kits and more for the IDE card.

When do you think the next round will occur.

 

Sadly I bought two bare ide pcboards back in late march, they shipped early april, but never arrived, i guess with all these lockdowns the plane was grounded and parcel throw away in a corner never to be found again.

I don't think i'll be doing another run of these.  I have ordered a few extra boards.
