Building a Casio RP-33 clone, working with Zebra strips

[Jeff_Birt]

A friend in Germany confirmed that the board design with a slightly incorrect contact pad layout worked fine in all of this Casio pocket computers that accept an RP-33. Rather than pitch those PCBs I built them and will offer them at a discount. There are only 8 of them left.

I did get a few samples of the V1.1 PCB with the corrected pad layout and they work fine too. I shrunk the outline on this version by 0.5mm all around so it is not as snug a fit as the V1 boards though the V1 boards all seem to fit/work fine. I should have more V1.1 PCBs next week so I can start building them.

The 'imperfect' V1.0 PCB version: $20
The 'fixed' V1.1 PCB version: $30

Shipping via USPS should be about $6.50 for 1-several boards. I'll get it set up on my website sometime next week after getting the new PCBs in and building a few to test them. For now I can send a PayPal invoice to your email address if you are interested.
