Does Anyone Have an SDK-80 That They Are Willing To Part With?

[andrewsofbg]

Very quiet here, everyone in hibernation?  

I have a hankering to play with an SDK-80.  Does anyone have one that they have grown tired of and want to sell? or trade for something else that is new and exciting?

Why did you wake me up??

Hi Craig,

 

Jonathan Glitch on VCF produced a modernised version of the SDK-80 called the GW-SDK-80

 

https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/gw-sdk80-1-a-slightly-modernized-intel-sdk-80-workalike.72605/

 

I did contact him about it a while back and he said he’d just tested the second prototype and was willing to sell me one, however the emails dried up and I didn’t hear from him again unfortunately.

 

Might be worth contacting him to see if he has any boards now.

 

Bye

Martyn.

Thanks Martyn,

I could do the workalike, but I was specifically wanting an original SDK-80 for a while. 

Regards to all

Craig

Hi Craig,

 

I found some PCB files I archived from intel-vintage.info/ before it disappeared and I’ve put them on the Group Google Drive under:

 

MartynV/sdk-80/PCB

 

If you upload the SDK-80.rar file to the on-line Altium viewer you can see the PCB detail. I’m not sure what he used to copy from as I’ve never seen a version with 1702’s on it.

 

Viewer is here:

 

@https://www.altium.com/viewer/

 

Remove the @ obviously, just did that to stop our email server generating a huge safe link.

 

You can generate the Gerbers from the viewer, however form what I remember you can’t preserve the solder mask etc.

Thanks Martyn

I had forgotten about mustoff’s site, it was a wealth of information and he reproduced a number of boards as I recall. I have been avoiding ordering boards but I may slip a set of these in if I finally break down and place a board order.

If I can get gerber files suitable for jlcpcb, then I can work them into my next order, though I too have seen my board orders slow to a trickle. Maybe within the next few weeks.

I am curious about the 1702 in Mustafa's design.

Hello

An original Intel SDK-80 unopened kit for sale on EBay now.

I would usually go for such a thing but I’m not as flushed for cash as I used to be, also already have one.

Regards 

James

Very nice looking kit though...

BTW, how can you access the Group Google Drive?

Didn't know there was one. 

Thanks, 

Mark

Yea, I saw that.  In fact it is what resurrected my desire to have one.  Even with the price drop to $750 it is still above my justification level.  Besides, I want a working one, not a static display, and I would have trouble convincing myself that I deserve to be the one to open the box and assemble.  I know someone will eventually buy and open, but probably not me.
