olf EFM forum topics
I built several of Tom Gambles EFM 1900er series PCBs. He made a close out and sold his remaining stock in april 2007. there are a lot of these PCBs spread all around the world, many unbuild yet, i guess.
BAD NEWS: When these PCBs where actually released there was a forum at the EFM site. This forum is gone.
GOOD NEWS: Many thanks to Dave Kendall who filed many of the topics of the old EFM forum, and now i am glad to publish them. Thanks to Tim Stinchcombe who provided me with additional files to complete the list. Many thanks also to CJ Miller for providing all the old pre 1900 files. Any helpful information is appreciated so don't hesitate to contact me if you have some files available that you might want to share here. The topics discuss errors, tweaks and modifications - VERY usefull:

WILDCAT
Modular Midi Synth
I just ordered the last available Wildcat PCBoard! One called it a Gnom on stereoids, we will see... The plan is to lay it out as an semimodular synth (prepatched/normalled) with keyboard.
So here is the 28 pages thread about the widcat from the old forum. The most findings/mods/fixes come from
TOMCAT
DBop II Programmable Drummachine
Copy of the original EFM DBop site from 1998. DBop: a simple 2 pattern 8 -step drummachine with kick, snare & hihat, cell powered.
