I have purchased and received 5 boards from PCBway. The downside is the STM32F105RBT6 processors are currently on backorder everywhere.
I have included links in case anyone else is interested.

It seems that the Gotek drive and Greaseweazel have been a useful tools for many archiving and using OSI software.
I will update my progress on the build.

Cool. Looking forward to see your progress. Good luck!
Not everywhere (yet). JLCPCB has them in stock for their assembly service. I have found that ordering the parts and having them assemble the PCB can be less expensive that just ordering the parts separately, in part because of the savings in shipping, and in part because their prices are pretty competitive. There's a KiCad plugin to generate a BOM in the format they can use.harrywalter99 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 11:39 pm The downside is the STM32F105RBT6 processors are currently on backorder everywhere.

I probably will be better off going the JLCPCB route than waiting for the STM32F105RBT6 to come available(and survive my soldering).
It will be interesting to get a quote.
Thank you for the information and for hosting this amazing resource.
