Bad news.

But is it possible let us to have a look at the prototype of the Spice new CPU board?

Except for the power supply, the circuit design is similar to the other boards.

The main problem is the processor chips. As far as I can tell Microchip cannot manufacture them at the moment and even when they can, design companies snap them up. I cannot see any stock of any of the processors I need available anywhere, even from Microchip's own store. Even if a few are available, stockists know the rarity and the price is crazy. Some other chips are not available either. I can probably find substitutes but they may not be compatible with the board design or software.

cheers
