Like this one, I personally don't see to be a big deal. OMG FREAK OUT AND CALL IT TRASH OVER A MISSING P7 HEADER!!!! =] https://ozmistermods.com/blogs/news/psa-mister-analog-io-boards-with-broken-snac-compatibility-in-the-wild …pic.twitter.com/8dNFqAz2Cj

They are right, the 6.0 IO board has specific specs, you can't call something a 6.0 MiSTer IO board and go off specs. That's what those chinese knockoff manufacturers did, it's disingenuous at best, blatant scamming at worse.

Missing a header isn’t an altered spec... if the design is wrong that’s different. SNAC is the bastard child of the project. Are there other issues?

SNAC is the only child that works with original lightguns, so missing that header will make that board incompatible for anyone who wants to do that.

My point is the board isn’t broken if it’s just a header. Add it, learn to solder, profit!

In the end the seller should have had those pins populated. It’s right of him to warn others of that seller if the seller isn’t willing to take responsibility

"if the seller isn’t willing to take responsibility" at the end of the day we are discussing literally 5 cents worth of header. I do hear you, BUT everyone acting like it is "out of spec", and "trash", and "awful seller" etc, are clearly exaggerating, LOTS.pic.twitter.com/NkXUipwg1a

But you also have to buy a decent soldering iron, solder, flux, hope you are going to do a decent job .... it’s more than just a 5 cent part, but no the I/o board is not broken or damaged due to this but still a BIG hassle for someone without the proper tools or know how

That is absolutely fair. It would also be poignant to point out that even the "official" distros make simple mistakes. I just can't get past the part where NONE of them are populated in the product photos. =] https://www.amazon.com/Terasic-DE10-Nano-Analog-Headphone-Replacement/dp/B08XBH9LNW/ref=dp_prsubs_1?pd_rd_i=B08XBH9LNW&psc=1 …pic.twitter.com/V6p6RiaOUZ

You know I just noticed $31.68 for the I/o .... you know sometimes you do get what you pay for joking aside I populated my I/o myself, and for the amount of time it took me to build it and the cost of buying one fully populated @ $31.68 are they even making any money?

It is really hard to fathom how they sell the board for a little more than $1 over BOM cost for just the STM32 chip alone. It is like all the PCB and other components cost nothing. It is hard to get for sure. https://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine?Keyword=511-STM32F103CBT6 …pic.twitter.com/KxJXOkYq1I
