Bummer. All gone. But, capitalism being what it is I assume there will be another run soonish.

An IR pre-heater is almost a hard requirement for boards with internal planes. I purchased mine initially to help in removing a soldered-in 68030 chip from one of my SE/30s. After bringing the board up to 200C and applying a bit of liquid flux the Hakko desoldering tool made quick work of it.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I guess I never saw a notice about the preorder list and confused the "notify me" page with it.

How can I determine if I'm on the pre-order list? I *think* I remember registering but can find no way to verify that fact.

Agree. One or both of those transistors is shorted or extremely leaky.

The obvious solution is a user-space stack. Hopefully that will be straightforward to do?

I thought the kernel gurus had agreed to back off on this due to community pushback?

Check carefully in the area where the leaking cap was. The electrolyte has a tendency to flow underneath neighboring parts and eat traces and vias.

Thanks much!

Thanks, but I'm not seeing a link for download at that page. I suspect membership is required?

I have searched Google for 'mackbd' and cannot find anything on point. Would you mind posting a link?

That looks similar to the case that came with my Hootswitch. On the one I have there was no practical way to fasten the PCB to the bottom (standoffs too small for any screw I had) and the top similarly had no means of keeping it attached. It does look nice, but I needed a different solution.

I should mention that the round button extension must be removed in order to get the PCB positioned over the internal locating pins. You can push it back on afterwards.

I used OpenSCAD with the 'YAPP' template to design a box for my O.G. Hootswitch. Here are the sources and a 3mf if anyone would like to print up their own. My Prusa Mk4S was having some first-layer issues, so ignore the uneven finish on the top.

I have storage bins full of 32 and 72 pin SIMMs. Way too many to inventory.
