Thank You Publison,
I quite understand and sometimes wonder how you guys manage to squeeze everything into the days...
Family, Work, Social life, and everything else that eats up the free time.
Thanks for the prompt reply all the same.
Don't worry, I will send to UK as well. Who's for Europe?
Thank You Peter,
Please send me the cost amount including board, parts, labour, and shipping in a PM so that I send you the money and please put me down for one P2D2 unit all the same.
There's no costs whatsoever as we all benefit from the efforts of others and I am quite happy to do my part. The parts on the board aren't much use at the moment unless you happen to have a P2 FPGA and want a breakout with microSD, Flash, and serial header perhaps. Even when the P2 becomes available and the board is already populated you need to have the skills to solder the P2 chip onto the already populated board, quite possibly with header pins in the way. If that is the case then I will make up a board for you and perhaps any others who have FPGA boards to connect to that would like one. Otherwise the board is more of a prop without the Prop But it helps you visualize how you could start using the P2 with a simple module like this. I need to order some switcher modules and a few other parts though.
I have been away for a while, so I haven't been following recently the development of the P2. Looking at the "Unoficcial Preliminary Shortform Data" page4 under ROM TOOLS - TAQOZ shows what looks like a bunch of forth words. Does that mean that forth will be in ROM on the P2?

No, not Forth, but TAQOZ Even though you could write complete applications using TAQOZ it is also easy enough to load up a full and up-to-date version of Tachyon. However, if nothing is working but the P2 itself you can use TAQOZ to debug hardware etc. It even has a basic SD FAT32 file handling capabilities and a lot of smart pin words but there are also a lot of things we haven't been able to check out until we get a real chip. That's why it's better to boot from Flash or SD card for developing apps, so think of TAQOZ as a super hardware debugger even if we know it can do much more. Even a Spin2 interpreter will not be in ROM and besides, we could only have a maximum of 16kB ROM which includes Chip's loader and Cluso's SD booter.
I received mine today. That sure was quick. It's a great looking board. I'm so glad that I recently upgraded my microscope LOL
thanks!! to Peter and Jim.
I had sent 6 boards to Europe, but they never reached their destination. They left the destination airport terminal and have not been tracked for over a week.
I can try sending another 6 if you like, just let me know the details. People send cards and photos and books all the time, we are sending printed material, what's the difference? I think I marked the back of the envelope "sample printed boards" or something, just in case but a package would otherwise need a custom's declaration.

I received another 6 boards from Peter today. These are for US and Canada distribution only. PM me your address. One to a customer please.
I'd love one but only if a P2 chip is soldered to it. I realize that's impossible though. I'll wait for the boards that Parallax is going to make with the 1500 chips they're getting soon.

Hiya once again Mr Cluso,
I'm going to send you a PM as it's off topic and I don't want to clutter the thread...

EDIT: This is for US shipments only.
No, not Forth, but TAQOZ

Thanks Publison and Peter!
Very nice board!
thanks!! to Peter and Jim.
I'm for Europe. Can you ship to Portugal? How much is it?
Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço
If you declare their value to be $0, you won't have any issues with customs. After all, you are sending them for free. Anyways, PM sent.
Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço
There's 4 available for free delivery from EU as of today.
They finally made it to the destination.
I've got two for my work. Only using one at the moment.
