[sdiy] Wasp clone, was: SDIY UK 2010 pics and vid

[cheater cheater]

Hi Chris,
really nice pics, thanks.

Looking at the gutted Wasp, it's just one, possibly two-sided, PCB.
Given how insanely expensive those things get for what they do, I
wonder, why are there no true to life 1:1 clones yet? There's the
Pixie but it replaces the oscillators and the other stuff is of
questionable authenticity too. The PCB of the Wasp doesn't look like
it would be difficult to clone, and the parts aren't necessarily
esoteric either, are they?..

Cheers,
D.
