Hello!
I'm getting back to 8bit activity after four years of slow
down due to health problems. I feel much better, but will
not be able to do all arrearages at once.
I want still to design, produce and sell uprgades for 8bit
computers, perhaps also for some 16bit. The uprgades will
be of two types:
1. Mounted internally with changes on motherboard, what
requires some technical abilities (desoldering, soldering,
plasic cuting) or delivering the hardware to someone who
can do this. The solutions are cheaper and usually fitted
inside original case.
2. Connected externally with no special abilities needed.
The devices will be more expensive (at least twice than
internal version).
Both upgrade types I'm going to offer in several mounting
stages:
1. Boards only - you can buy other elements at local store.
2. Boards and elements - you need to solder them yourself.
3. Pre-mounted and tested parts - needs only final montage.
4. Ready for use device.
For the first 3 stages I'm looking people wordwide who can
mount the hardware for other people in their country, what
will reduce costs and provide cheaper service.
I'm also going to expand my web service, that includes
both documentation archive (currently 8bit.yarek.pl) and
interactive platform for order support (currently yarek.com).
The service would be also open for people, who sell things
locally in their countries or can provide the 8bit hardware
support. In relation to this, I'm looking for new domain
name (unfortunately the 8bit.com is used for something
strange and "is not for sale"). I'm open to new suggestions,
please contact me directly.
Also, I'm going to join a cashback program, so every purchase
of 8bit hardware will be reimbursed in time of 2-5 years. This
cashback program is fully working in some european countries
and just starting in North America. Please contact me directly
for more informations (there's also a possibility to earn some
money on releasing the cashback program).
Any comments are welcome.

Jak se mas!!!! Glad to see you're up and posting back here. Definitely interested in any 8 bit projects you have. Would you consider making a video showing some of your work maybe posting on youtube? Put a paypal donate button there and on your website?
