Seeing some of the "emotion" over a broken C5 or 2 and their supposed rarity for spares over on this thread, (http://c5alive.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2886.0.html) :) I thought I would help balance some C5 karma by offering my "spare"/unused ULA chip.

(chip only - the rest of the board I need for components etc)
Please Note that it is *untested*, But it may work and hence, I will only part with it for the paypal cost of the postage from Switzerland (and a pint of UK beer?) :)

No idea I was also asking about him not that long ago

@ pso-buzz.
No, there is a way round it, Phil's ULA replacement. Look at Phil's article at http://www.cypax.net/projects/ula/index?language=en (http://www.cypax.net/projects/ula/index?language=en), you will see that Phil produced a unit that simulates the original ULA.
This unit is not a direct replacement for the ULA but with some slight mods to the C5's electronics it would bring the C5 back to life, plus with some additional components the C5 could be used in pedelec mode.
I offered some time back to produce and test some of these units if someone in the UK would be prepared to program them for the customer and distribute them. Due to lack of concrete help from the UK side I've now dropped the idea.
I'll produce a unit to convert #1 to pedelec, and if Pat's unit is duff I'll go 24v on #2.

@ Dan,
What happened to that guy who was making replacement ones?
Phil has stated categorically that he will not produce any further ULA replacements, see http://c5alive.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2471.msg20717.html#msg20717 (http://c5alive.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2471.msg20717.html#msg20717). So don't wast your time trying to contact him, IF he answers then it will only be confirmation of his non participation.

Are there any computer buffs on here in the uk that could support Karl on this as it is a excellent opportunity

No, not him... another thread that I read recently...

Ah, you're right... old thread that git replied to recently!

Sorry Marty, I'm out of the game.
I'm 72 years old and living on a meager pension.
To make one for myself is no problem, except the high cost of a single board and the additional cost of the equipment, for a one time use, to test and setup this unit. I was, at the time, prepared to make a minimum 20 units. This would have lowered the cost of buying components and spread the cost of the required equipment.
I'm involved in social work for a minimum of 4 hours per day x 365 days a year, and I'd like a little time to work on my own projects. The layout for all this would have placed a heavy financial burden on my shoulders as well as take up a lot of my time. To send the individual units to the UK would have upped the cost and taken up a lot of my time, this is the reason I wanted someone in the UK to accept a bulk shipment and to do the individul customer settings thereby spreading the work load as well as lowering the postal costs.
Since nothing concrete materialised I've got round to solving the pedelec problem for #1, and as quoted I have a solution for #2.
The thing that really surprises me are the number of queries concerning the ULA and the long and everlasting requirement for a replacement , and yet the almost total lack of response when help was requested to produce them. :( :( :(

Do you mean 'that git replied'? If yes that's not very nice.
Or do you mean 'that got replied'?

Hi Marty,
it's not a case of 'I'm 72 years old and living on a meager pension.'
I was prepared to go ahead in as much I was in contact with Phil, plus I was prepared to help others in order to help myself.
