then attached the dc-dc unit and think i will put a dob of hot glue under the front lip but when soldered it sits there fine... but to be safe.. (sorry not to good)

the unit from the top.. looks good

and on the OMEGA.. it sits over the top of the DC in port and sits there nice.. (sorry for the quality)

if you are making one of these and want the 12v +/- (to run cartridges) on the Omega MSX i have shim boards..

just the board is $2.00 each

Board and headers $2.50 (set)

board with Headers soldered in $3.00 each

with DC-DC 12v +/- unit attached $12.00 each(set)

DC-DC 12v +/- units $10.00 each

postage in nz about $2.00 will send over seas but will need to get a price ..

PM me if you want them i will also be doing them with the OMEGA boards as a kit (OMEGA main and keyboard + dc-dc board)
