Rich, I ordered the parts from Digikey using the spreadsheet from your site. Thanks for including the part numbers as that made things so simple. They don't have the 6 pin DIN connector for the IEC in stock, but I figure I can get started without that. I also order the parts they didn't have from an eBay seller claiming to have some old stock of 6551 and 6522 chips. So I should have this put together shortly, then I'll need to program the EEPROM.
BTW The IEC interface was a smart addition to the SBC design. I've found out that there are SD2IEC converters available on eBay which makes adding mass storage to this design pretty simple. I don't miss cassette tapes or floppy drives, so they're one bit of nostalgia I'll pass on.
Thanks, Martin. I've been eyeing the SD2IEC as well, which is why I put that 2x3 connector on the board. I should probably order one as well.
On the DIN connector, I have gotten them at DK and also Jameco. DK may not always have the best prices, so for most of my projects I wind-up ordering from Jameco as well. Also, I've built up a stock of parts so I can time my ordering better.
Let me know how the build works out.
