Hi hard1k,
I really want to buy AWE64 Legacy for my retro computer. I have working donor CT4520. I live in Moscow. Can I buy AWE64 Legacy? How much will it cost?
Best regards,
e2e4

Buy a donor card on eBay or wherever you can find one, then you can put an order in, send in the donor card, and you'll get the new one with the processor from the donor card.

Yes, but exactly where do I put an order in? I imagine that it’s not on eBay.

Trying not to bump this with repeated questions, but wanted to get a BOM and having issues sifting through 33 pages here. I wanted to grab an OPL and some recommended donor RAM modules, and maybe an extra AWE64 Value.

Also hoping I can get in on the next round, but also having difficulty understanding where to send cash, what timeframe we're looking at for another batch, or if these are still available.

Maybe an update on the main post with a link to final BOM?

I guess we can expect delays in the current situation - since these cards are produced in Russia. Most payment methods to Russia are blocked (including PayPal) and SWIFT payments and airplanes basically stopped flying there + big delivery companies such as DLH or Fedex suspended operations in Russia.

I never found out whether complete assembled cards are being sold, were supposed to by april/may of last year, but then as far as I understood they kept being delayed and only bare pcbs being sold... are they still not ready to sell? I've been prepared, waiting patiently to buy one fully assembled card for almost an year now

I have nothing to do with this project, but my understanding is that there were some unforeseen delays, probably now made much worse by recent geo-political events. If you're set on buying one of these, I suspect that you will have to wait for calmer, more peaceful times. Depending on how things progress, that could be a while.

Let's hope that everyone makes it out of this okay.

I just received the bare PCB and bracket in the mail and they look amazing.
I'm still waiting on a couple of parts to arrive and then the soldering fun can start.

Did you get this card working? Or someone else that ordered the PCB and built the card. It would be interesting to hear some experiences how it performs/sounds 😀

The project is 99% ready, we're still drafting the manual, and hope to launch sales as soon as possible.

Thanks for the update, such a great news!
