UPDATE \u2013 08 June 2007<\/p>\n

I shall be selling the PCB and possibly the PIC (blank or programmed) in the shop. Please check regularly for stock.<\/p>\n

\n

While working on the MMieC project another came to my attention, together with Jussi (who did the hard work) a new smaller PCB was developed off the back of all the projects to create a tiny DTV targetted MMC reader.
\nThe 1541-III<\/a> project by Jan Derogee was the most complete project from which Jussi took the source code. My MMieC was the smallest, and the basic design\/idea was taken from that to create hardware that could run Jan\u2019s code on a simple hardware interface.<\/p>\n

Credits go to,
\nJan Derogee<\/a> \u2013 for all his work on the 1541-III without which I doubt this could have happened, the IEC protocol is horrible but Jan did wonders with his source. Jussi Saily \u2013 For redesigning the PCB layout and fixing the source to fit the new hardware. He put a lot of effort into this and again, without him this wouldnt have been possible.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4\/10\/2006 \u2013
\nJan has incorperated detection of boards into his design. There is now no need for me to supply seperate firmware images. Please visit Jan\u2019s site<\/a> for more information on firmware.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 1\/10\/2006 \u2013
\nFollowing feedback on the units and design discusion we are improving the design. Jan is working on some firmware improvements and we are incorperating this into the next batch. Also we have corrected a couple of issues discovered from user feedback with the layout of the board.
\nPlease thank Jussi for all his work doing the board layout!<\/p>\n

UPDATE 25\/09\/2006 \u2013
\nOk, the new profesional PCB has been made, the firmware has been updated and we are now selling full kits and assembled units on the purchase page. You can still make your own using the instructions below, but a full kit with PCB and assembled units can be purchased instead.<\/p>\n
