I am currently investigating the possibilities to do a new production run for the MLDL2000. I have asked a new quote from my PCB assembly house, and the cost depends very much on the quantity. Those who are interested in getting an MLDL2000 (and have not indicated that to me yet), should let me know, so I can get a realistic idea of the required quantity.
New users will have to be aware of the following:
- Only a few cardreader housings are left, and these will be assigned to those who are on the waiting list for the longest time
- If you cannot obtain one of the cardreader housings, you may have to sacrifice your own card reader or get one at eBay
- I am looking for an alternative solution to put the MLDL2000 in a different box thats fits under the HP41
- Assembly of the MLDL2000 is very time consuming, I will therefore do assembly only for the remaing cardreader shells. For those who will do their own assembly I will offer a kit of parts (connectors etc)
- I expect that the price of the MLDL2000 kit will not change, but I need enough interest to keep the current price
It is NOT certain if there will be more production, this is just a survey. You are not committing to anything yet.
The MLDL2000 allows you to use almost all available ROM images in your HP41 and you may develop your own ROMs. HEPAX is one of the ROMS that will work. The images can be downloaded from a PC over a USB connection. More information is available at my website. Please let me know if you are seriously interested in getting on the waiting list or when you have any further questions
