No, I don't think it'll send you a confirmation email.

Hi Alex, just one question: once you submit the form, do you receive a confirmation email?

Greetings from Spain

Will keep following on with interest and will buy one of your boards at some point soon. I'm in Australia so hopefully there will be economical shipping options somehow.

Still blown away by the depth of functionality you have added into this project, truly amazing!

And takes me back to 1983 when I spent a lot of time on the Lisa as a 15yr old kid, including demonstrating it at a major computer exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.

Perhaps the biggest annoyance I've encountered when using ESProFile is the fact that you have to use a ribbon cable to convert the onboard 26-pin IDC connector to DB25 whenever plugging it into a Lisa 1, 2/5, or a parallel card, as opposed to a Widget connector. I didn't have room on the ESProFile board for both connectors, so I chose the one that seemed like it would be the most universal. I think I made the right choice, but it's still annoying.

But the other day, @Lisa1 sent me this handy adapter board that converts from IDC to DB25 without needing a ribbon cable. The IDC socket is even positioned so that the ESProFile board is aligned with the edges of the adapter; a really nice touch!

Maybe I'll design one of these and stick it in the ESProFile GitHub repo whenever I get around to designing Rev. 2 of the hardware if anybody's interested...

I'm finally home to mess with the v3 boards and I've got the first one of the 50 fully configured and tested. It looks like it works perfectly, including the serial port muxing, so that's an excellent sign. Now I just need to repeat everything for the other 49 boards, which is going to take quite a while.

The only roadblock I've encountered so far is that my eBay SCCs might indeed be fake and defective. I've only tested one of them so far, but it's so broken that the Lisa refuses to even display an image on the screen with it installed. Switching to a real SCC fixes things. Luckily, I bought some extra SCCs, so hopefully enough of them work to get through all of the boards...

While I was at VCF, I made a form that people could fill out to be notified when the boards go on sale. If anyone on here wants to be notified, I'd suggest filling out that same form too. Given all of the support that I've gotten on here, you guys get priority and will be notified a bit earlier than all of the VCF people if you fill out the form. To indicate that you're coming from here instead of VCF or any other source, put your name followed by "LisaList2" in the First Name field. So my first name would be "Alex LisaList2".

I'll keep everyone updated as testing progresses!

Any chance there are any unpopulated 2/10 I/O boards? I've been trying to find an original for a while now to no avail, but a 2/5 I/O board leaves me without a floppy.

It was great! thank you!

VCF went great and my presentation is up on YouTube now! I honestly don't feel like it's quite up to the standards of some of my previous years because of how much content I had to trim to fit it within the hour and a half that I had, but the lecture hall was completely full and everyone said they really liked it, so maybe I'm just being overly critical.

Regardless, here's the link:

Thank you! Had a mishap, so I'm apparently missing some of the total of extended interviews. Putting out what I can find.

Thanks!!!

Great work as always.
