Thanks Wavicle!

It seems you only have a few OtterX kits left so I'd better be quick if I want one.

I presume the remaining kits still require the bodge board to use all features?

I have 50 boards left, but the labor involved in putting a kit together tends to put a damper on my enthusiasm. Most of that frustration is down to populating VERA and the YM replacements. Each VERA, OPM2151, and I2S DAC takes roughly one hour of labor (30 minutes for VERA, 10 minutes for each side of the OPM2151 chiplet, and about 5 minutes for the I2S DAC). Unfortunately, only the component that is good candidate for production by JLCPCB or similar is the I2S DAC.

In any case, I believe that I have 7 kits assembled and ready right now. Some recent feedback given to me is that international shipping is considerably cheaper if one purchases on Tindie.

If for some reason one only wants a VERA or an OPM2151, find me on Discord. I sell single parts all of the time.
