wtb read only chips for homebrew CIS/CFS

wtb read only chips for homebrew CIS/CFS

2002-03-28 by jimhayes361

David at nomorecarts does not like the idea of selling only the read 
only chips, and anyway, I don't plan on going into the CIS building 
buisness. Although there are rumors that in future the chips will be 
sold separately, I'm not counting on it.

What I'm trying to get assembled is a "designer CIS" for my own 1280. 
There are parts from the MIS and We-Ink site that are very good ideas 
that the nomorecarts CIS does not incorporate. I believe with my 
mechanical background I can easily take the best of three or more 
systems and put them into a super CIS.

I don't absolutely need the read only chips- I will have a way to 
reset the chips in a month or two that is not much sweat and doesn't 
use the rather limping Russian software. The read only chips will 
still be the most convient solution.

The point of my post is if anyone has a broken down nomorecarts CIS 
for 1270, 1280, or 1290 they are getting rid of, and they want to sell 
the chips, contact me offline. I hope this doesn't take too many 
resellers aback, I'm not going to remarket my one unit, and I'd be 
buying a spent, previously bought by someone else CIS. I don't mind 
buying a nomorecarts CIS, but it simply doesn't have everything I 
would like to see in my dream CIS.

Try weink.com. They sell CIS components separately, including 
chips described as follows: 
"Read Only Type 1 Smart Chips - For use with
T007,T008, T009,T017, T018 style cartridges only.
For use with Ultra-FLO III 870 and 1270 Systems.
Priced per chip. $44.99" 

I hope this is what you're looking for.
