Yep, some friends and myself are going to try to build some Dreamdisk controllers; so I've just received some PCBs from JLPCB and we're ready to buy the components.

I've finished a parts list in Mouser; so if anyone is interested (it won't be 100% tested until the first controller work) I can publish here the link.

Aweseome

Do you plan to sell a ready to use board?

Not really, it's only a small private run and everyone is going to build the PCB by himself.

I've 5 PCBs and 3 will be assembled; so 2 of them are spares, are you interested in one?

Hi All,

The mouser parts list that I ordered from to build my first unit (that works 100%) is located here.

File is Bill of Materials Spreadsheet (.XLSX)

For R5 - You will most likely want to use a 25 turn multi turn pot instead of a single turn 50K as R5 is for Phase comparator Adjustment (RPW Pin).

I used this one:
https://www.altronics.com.au/p/r2386a-r ... n-trimpot/

For the WD2793 chip - I got mine from Ebay. Do a search there are a few sellers around the world including China.

I have some spare PCB's from JLCPCB as well - if anyone doesn't want to order a minimum batch of 5 pcbs from JLCPCB.

I also have some spare pairs of 2716 EPROMS (2 x 2716) programmed with SCUAMONv3.4 (with Dreamdisk FDC support).

Don't forget you will also need a Gotek USB floppy drive emulator with FlashFloppy software loaded on the Gotek.

Thanks for the offer. As johnhalk got the PCB and the roms, I will take his offer, as I don't have the materiel to flash those roms.

Hi, I'm interested into a PCB + programmed EPROMS!

Thanks for the tip!

Any trustworthy sellers out there you can recommend?

Just in case, you can find WD2793s into most MSX Disk controllers and many Atari 1050 disk units. In fact I already have a WD2793 replaced from an Atari 1050 with a WD2797.

Hello,

Please send me a private message with your postal details.

I will send you via Australia post airmail a blank PCB and a pair of 2716 eproms already burned with SCUAMON 3.4.

Regards,
John

Hello,

I used this ebay seller from China. My order arrived fairly quickly.

I am not recommending them though so please make your own decision !
