MLDL2000 Update Message #1 Posted by Meindert Kuipers on 5 Apr 2004, 2:44 p.m.
Hello all,
The development of the MLDL2000 is now in a stage that I am preparing to have the PCB's built for the prototype run. Part of that process is to get a quote from the manufacturer for the final production, and I would like to have your feedback if you are sincerely interested in acquiring an MLDL2000. The quantity of the production run obviously influences the price. A very rough estimate is between 200 and 300 EURO ($250-$375 depending on the currency rate). I have updated my website with the features of the MLDL2000, so please have a look at www.kuipers.to/hp41 or just ask me.
The MLDL2000 project is not for profit but for fun. You will pay only for the actual production cost (including setup) and shipping.
The MLDL2000 will consist of 2 PCB's (3 with the optional USB interface) that will all fit in a cardreader housing. The cardreader housing is NOT included, and the HP41 connector is also NOT included. Some assembly and soldering will be required, but the PCB's will be fully tested and functional when you receive them.
Again, let me know if you are interested. I do not expect a commitment but your inoput will help me settling the final price of the unit.
Thanks,
Meindert Kuipers, meindert_at_kuipers_dot_to
