This is a PRE-ORDER; no parts will be ordered until after the pre-order closes. This pre-order will close on October 2, 2026, to give everyone an opportunity to purchase.
Please note this card does require a modification to the console of one trace to be cut or a via to be drilled out. I do recommend using a dip switch to make this mod so that the console can be put back to original stock simply by flipping the dip switch and installing the original VDP.
Also make a note in the console or on the back that it has been modified for use with the CaDD video card.
