Re: New version of EMXP with RS422 support

2010-05-04 by ditabeardmemo

E-Synthesist, this is great news! To think of the time I spent trying to get my SE/30 back on its feet after the logic board died last year...

Now here's a question I'd like to pose to the group: I'm sure that some of us (myself included) do not have sufficient soldering skills to build this unit. Is there a group member who would be interested in building a handful of these for a small fee? In my case, I've already acquired most of the parts, but am simply not comfortable soldering either the Amtel board or the DB25/DB9 terminals.
