I have plenty stock of the kits right now since I ordered a batch of 20 boards of each of the HAWK-800 and AtomaHawk kits late last year.
I have good stock of the components too.
The HAWK-800 costs $99 USD plus shipping.
The AtomaHawk costs $29 USD plus shipping.
You must have the HAWK-800 installed before you can install the AtomaHawk.
The only function that does NOT work once you install the HAWK-800 is the TAPE functions. But, there are plenty of SYSEX functions that make the old TAPE functions completely unnecessary. But I do mention it, for those who may have a stash of audio dump files since they would need to be converted to SYSEX dumps.
The HAWK-800 does co-exist with Moog Slayer and other mod's but I don't provide much assistance for installations that have other mod's installed. I do try to help but there are limits to that help when other mod's are involved.
The kit takes some electronics patience and skill. So I don't take responsibility for the installation either. I try to help as much as I can but in the end, each owner has to take on the job themselves and has to know their own limitations with electronics work of this kind.
The instructions can be found in the tech support area of the website www.hawk800.com.
I look forward to a huge rush of orders! :-)
Mike
