Some months ago (it’s been more than three I know) I mentioned that the Interface 1 replacement (vLA-1) that I had been working on would be available in limited numbers.
I’ve received valuable feedback from testers (thanks in particular to Brendan Alford) and finally everything looks ready to go.
The vLA-1 is a pin-for-pin functional equivalent of the Interface 1 ULA and is suitable for both V1 and V2 versions of the Interface. As most know, the original ULA is prone to overheating spectacularly, melting an unsightly crater in the plastic casing. Note that due to the lack of space in the original Interface 1 case, the original ULA will need to be removed and the vLA-1 soldered in its place.
The vLA-1 will be sold on SellMyRetro in a choice of the following deals:
- One vLA-1 – £24.50 each + £5 shipping
- Two vLA-1 – £22.50 each + £5 shipping
- Three or more (up a maximum of five) vLA-1 – £20.00 each + £5 shipping.
To keep the cost down the shipping option is untracked. This has proved reliable in the past but if you have other shipping requirements then please contact me directly on vdrivezx@gmail.com and I’ll provide a quote.
To get alerts when the vLA-1 is available just set a keyword watch in SellMyRetro for ‘vLA-1’. I’ll also let you know through this website, some of the FB sites, and twitter (Charlie@vdrivezx).
The vLA-1 will also be available to preorder but there may be a short wait as I’m set up to supply in batches rather than making to order.
And, of course, I’ll continue to make vDrives.
