It's been pointed out that we've been negligent in regard to keeping OGML members informed about work we're doing and progress we've made. I'm going to try to give a summary of what's happening. Others, I hope, will respond with more detail.
* VGA We have working hardware and working VGA (text) emulation. We also have a version of the hardware in SVN that's fully simulatable. What's working in hardware and what's in SVN are still slightly askew, because we haven't completely worked out why some of the BIOS merges don't work as expected. But that'll work itself out within the next couple of weeks. The most RECENT major contributors to this include Mark Mashall, Petter Urkedal, and Howard Parkin. * LinuxFund Of our $5000 Linux Fund donation target, we currently have $8020. That's nearly enough to purchase 25 to 30 OGD1 boards out-right. So we're going ahead. We'll figure out where to get any amount by which we're short. * OGD1 hardware Andre Pouliot got us a quote for PCBs from a MyroPCB in Canadian, a better price than Sanmina. He has had good experience with them, so we're going to go with that. I've put in for a quote for assembly with AvCom here in Columbus. We expect them to beat our earlier quote from Conelec. Andre kindly went through our entire BoM and found sources for all the parts, and then Howard found better prices for a few of the most expensive ones. We're just waiting on AvCom's quote to start production. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
