Hand soldered from reading that thread, not that many boards available from 
the looks of it (or parts). I think he recommended you buy the kit so you 
don't complain about his soldering skills.

Sooner or later I will probably get one for my Tandy 1000 desktop when I can 
figure out how to make a frame for a HD and mount one on the card (like a 
hardcard).

For now the MFM drive and card I stuck into my XT clone will work.
