For those wishing to build one of these boards, sourcing all of the various passive components, logic IC's, RAM, and other parts can be challenging, especially when some of the parts on the official BOM have been discontinued or hard to find. This listing is for a complete set of new components for those who want to build up their own board, excluding the new motherboard PCB, CPU and any Commodore custom chips. The kit overall is recommended for advanced hobbyists only, as there is a significant amount of soldering involved.
Highlights of this Parts Kit include:
- All brand new passive components, including organic polymer capacitors, ports, slots, and TI brand logic IC's
- 23-pin male RGB port
- 23-pin female floppy drive port
- NOS Epson RTC chip
- 8 NOS 256x4 RAM chips for 1MB RAM
- turned-pin sockets for all IC's, Commodore custom chips, CPU, and PLCC socket for the Fat Agnus chip
- Parts on the official BOM that are discontinued, such as the Murata BL03RN2R1P1A dual ferrite beads.
