Hand soldered from reading that thread, not that many boards available from

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.
They're being sold at cost: $30 for a kit to
solder your own, $40 for a
pre-built and tested card.
Is $40 for assembled-by-hand or wave-soldered?
