Please. Let us know
Is it possible to get it in colors like those on mk2 and 3k? I like white on blue

As yet, I'm only able to do the mk2/3k in white on blue.
Its the displays for the mk1/asq that I may be able to do in colour. It will involve me transplanting parts from other LCD modules though, so at first I'm aiming at getting working white on blue displays for these.

I can confim that there is more than just a form factor difference between the LCDs of the MPC60/ASQ10 and the MPC60II/3K.
I found this out today the hard way, the pinouts are also different. This is easy to overcome it's just a couple of pins are swapped around.
However, I've now blown something on the ASQ sync board, probably the LCD controller as the machine works but nothing displays on the screen, but if I wire its LCD correctly to the MPC60II, the lcd still works..

Time to get the soldering iron hot...

ASQ10s look kind of cool.. they always reminded me of the NES top loader.

Yeah it does look cool, most of the parts inside are interchangeable with the 60mk1 it seems..

and the same with the software as well, no?

Also interested in one for the mk1!

when you have a guide on installation and some detailed pics on installing it in a 3k with no soldering and appropriate wires, ie a drop in replacement let me know and i'll pick up a display.

any options in colour , ie white on black, the blue not really something im keen on.

The trouble in getting them in different colors is the cost. There is a minimum purchase qty, so I am not prepared to take the risk of then sitting on a load of green on black lcd modules (my favourite, btw)
It's possible I can do the mk1 displays in diff colors, but not the mk2, as they are very non-standard size. the 3k is a drop in replacement already. you use the existing cable.
thanks

then you set up a preorder or group buy or go to kickstarter and get the funds to fund it.

use the blue screen to show backers look this si a working unit, and give backers a choice of colours.

i want a jet black display with white writing.

once you set up a kickstarter project let us know if you deem the risk too high to go at it alone or the MOQ is out of your reach for different colours.

Peace

is this project dead?

whats going on?

any updates?

any colours, any options?

Yep, its dead. I bought in on eBay right away but Brad (shiznay) apparently had some issues with the factory and decided to drop the project and refund everyone's money a couple weeks back. Too bad, I was pretty excited for this. Hopefully someone else comes and picks up where he left off, and hopefully he will be willing to share whatever information he has when the time comes.
