This Gerber set provides a layout for the production of a sheet of 52 Messiahs. Imagine this to be a panel of printed circuit boards, all nicely laid out in rows.

Like this .. :)

Where would you buy the FBGA 144 adapters and how much would they cost?

[gokuguy]

The actual Messiah chips are manufactured in Hong Kong, right?

[Robot]

What where the first workshop upgrades, where they the actel chips?? and if not where you guys not scared that these would be ripped?

[Robot]

yes i remember all of that , and that device u guys had for the bus monitoring.. i just thought that you did workshop upgrades for the beta testers like pzycho (who evidently fucked the people out of lots of cash (over 300 000 pounds )

ahh ok that clears that up thx

[gokuguy]

So how much money does the entire manufacturing process cost from start to finish (assuming they manufacture several thousand chips)?

Time for another pic from Tak's archive :D

In small quantities, probably as much as buying a readymade modchip :(

Ripping the messiah 2 is not the old crow way, it of use only for dealers. Ripping the magic3 is much better, easy to get chips.

Just my opinion.

Thanks Rex for hanging out at PS2NEWZ and sharing that infomation. Your efforts are greatly appreacated!

Perhaps a little post-script as I've kept out of most of this (not being competent to contribute at the intellectual level).

The G-man bears responsibility (or should I say irresponsibility) for the market chaos he caused by announcing that Messiah 2 (aka US Messiah) would be released on 17-May, then June, then July.

On the basis of his word, pre-orders were taken (yes that is someone else's decision, but he knows full well how the market works - why would he provide a date?) and indeed his trusting distributors genuinely believed that the thing would arrive at least by July.

So thousands of dollars of refunds had to be made and the banks made pots of money on the reverse transactions not to mention bank fees paid by people placing orders in good faith and traders paying transfer charges on the refunds.

People should be aware of who has messed with them.

Of course that has to be set off against the quality of the Messiah 1 project which was a credit to the team despite all the bitching we've been reading.

I'm delighted at least that Messiah 2 comes out of the hDL stable, maintaining the design care that was evident with Messiah 1.
