Rev 2.00 of the PRC has been received from the fabrication house been built up and proved out and is now ready for public consumption. The new board is essentially the same as the old board, which was sold out. However it may be configured to use the USB2SER or the Propeller Plug. Further, power traces have been beefed up and all of the solder side ground connection converted to 'thermal pads' for easier soldering. If you have built your own programming interface, there is provision to add a 5th pin and draw 3.3v from the PRC board to power the interface. The PRC parts kit has been revised, there will no longer be any need to do a lot of cutting of connectors. They will be pre-cut.

The PRC-IO daughter boards, the PRC-VGIO and the PRC-TVIO boards are debugged. The VGIO board has VGA and 2 PS2 connectors. the TVIO has composite video (RCA jack) and 2 PS2 and data and power connections for up to 2 full duplex RS232 serial ports. They will be submitted for production early this week. They should be available for shipping by the second week in February.

The webpage has been redone, new pictures, parts lists, etc. I expect to be posting the revised Builder's Notes in the next two days.

    The PRC-IO daughter boards have been released - got my order in today [noparse];)[/noparse]

    The PRC-TVIO board has changed slightly from the description listed above. It now contains two PS2 connectors for KB and mouse, and two RCA jacks for a composite video port and a simple sound port interface and a 4 pin header that will interface to an RS232 level adapter.
