I held off on announcing uIEC/SD availability until I had some stock (impatient folks, you know who you are
, but I do now have some stock (90 units).Since uIEC shares the same firmware (kudos to Ingo Korb, who does not get enough recognition for this fine piece of code) as the recently announced SD2IEC, I'll spare everyone rehashing the similarities and just note the differences:
* uIEC/SD is currently the smallest known CBM drive (1.5" x 1.5" by 0.3"). Perfect for embedding in your favorite machine, drive, or calculator (shout out to Tone007, who stuffed one in a CBM pocket calculator)
* uIEC/SD shares the same 128kB Atmel AVR 8-bit microcontroller as the rest of the uIEC line. With 51kB used for firmware, there's plenty of room left for the future.
* uIEC/SD comes complete for use with IEC connector and power supply cassette port connector. VIC/64/C128 users can simply plug the wires in and use. (SX64/+4/C116/C16 users need to source 5V elsewhere, let me know before purchasing if you'd like an alternate connector)
* Although not yet defined for use, uIEC/SD offers an additional switch line and programmatic LED for future use.
* uIEC/SD not only supports SD and SDHC cards, but either SD or SDHC cards can also be used for updating the firmware (new feature, older firmware update software only supports SD cards)

As with uIEC/CF, units are $50.00/unit, with shipping (for up to 3 units) as follows:
$5.00/US
$10.00/Canada
$15.00/Intl
Email [email protected] for ordering information, or simply Paypal the address for immediate purchase.
I'd like to thank all those who have purchased uIEC units. I hope everyone finds them useful.
