Hello everyone!

It's been a long while since our last project news update. Progress had unfortunately stalled due to issues ranging from component availability to non-hobby matters.. :-(

While I waited for matters beyond my control to resolve, I thought I'd have a decent crack at adding a 2nd USB host port to my Flea Ohm board. Didn't think it was possible.. but somehow I made it fit (yay! See below):

Now, I had always intended my Ohm board to be a worthy successor for my earlier FleaFPGA Classic boards. This meant some means to add a PS/2 Keyboard and mouse as desired (thus making it backwards compatible with nearly all of the existing HDL projects implemented on the older board). Not having a 2nd USB host port with PS/2 secondary capability was something of a lament for me, hence my (successful) attempt..

Now that my above-mentioned issues have now been resolved, I can now pick up where I left off two months ago.. :-)

So here's my announcement: As soon as I have confirmed the above PCB to be functional (approximately 2 weeks from now), I will begin small-scale production of my Ohm board immediately thereafter. Pre-production Ohm boards may be ordered directly from me. Price will be set at USD$33 per board. Sales of pre-production Ohm boards will be limited to a maximum of two boards per customer.

As for my Ohm+ board: I have yet to bring my Ohm+ board up to the same standard as my latest Ohm design. This is mainly due to the extensive modifications needed to include the second USB host port. Therefore I will make a separate announcement about Ohm+ at a later date.

More to follow (and soon.. :-)

Cheers, Valentin
