Just added two documents to the Download section :)
1) A HW/VHDL/SW description
2) The SuperVidel memory map

We're busy updating our PHP scripts to help you get all the necessary information when buying your SuperVidel + Svethlana + Extenders. When we're done in a few days, the prepayment period will really start! :)

Forgot to mention that we have updated the SuperVidel project page with the last specs before production. You'll find it under Projects.

We got new quotes from the Chinese supplier, and they looked OK, so we will order the connectors as soon as possible. We have included these prices in the SV, Svethlana and Extender boards calculations.

We have decided the final prices for all three products now, in Euro. You find them under the SV poll page, which you get to from the Start page. There you can update your number of boards too. Unfortunately the somewhat better component prices from the manufacturer didn't do much for the final prices.

Note that the prepayment period has not yet started.
Since we're in Sweden we get all your payments converted into SEK, and the exchange rates we've seen on our bank and Paypal are not so good. We've not yet decided if we should go ahead and accept Euros anyway, or translate the Euro prices into SEK, so you send us SEK instead. For those of you who live in a non-Euro-country it makes little sense to convert to Euro (at a possibly lousy rate) and then we must convert from Euro to SEK (at another lousy rate).

Finally we got an answer from the Chinese connector supplier. Now we'll just verify that their old quotes are still valid, before placing an order. When these prices have been verified, we should have everything we need to be able to finally set the prices for the SV, Svethlana and Extender boards.

We visited Vinterhack in Tidaholm this weekend. It was the same old guys as always and great atmosphere. The party place was new though, and it was very good. While there we worked on the SuperVidel project with Pep. He added more stuff to the XBIOS+NVDI drivers and we added things to the VHDL code. Now we have a SuperBlitter-done interrupt, and separate VSYNC interrupt vectors for the VGA and DVI outputs. Also added a new 32bit alpha blitter mode, but had no time to test it.

Regarding the production of SV, Svethlana and Extenders:

We have emailed our chinese connector supplier to verify offered prices, but haven't heard anything yet. These connector prices are necessary for the SV and Extender boards, but not for the Svethlana.

We had some discussions with the manufacturer, and got more sensible prices on some components, but not all.
