It seems to be (I don't speak Polish) a FV-1 board that only needs a USB-to-Serial cable to program. And it costs about 40 USD, so it's a snap.
They seemingly just ship to Poland, but I answered their confirmation E-Mail - will see if they update my order to ship to Austria, too. Will keep you posted if you're interested
Looks great. I've been looking for something similar. Does it come already built, or as a kit?
Let us know if you succeed to have it shipped outside of Poland. I might want one for Spain myself.

I've seen here that someone ordered to UK successfully.

I would love to try it,... buy my SMD soldering skills suck....
Pretty amazing, it is priced at 140zl which works out at £29. To buy a single FV-1 chip in the UK cost £17 ish. So that is a bargain.
Original article dates from 2008 so maybe they're blowing out their inventory. DB-9 connection is a little 20th century.

I have one of these boards and I'm really dissapointed. It looks great, it has a lot of options...but it doesn't work. The screen doen't work at all, the software can't upload any presets to the eeprom.
I have update the firmware with a file I found on an old forum and now the screen works, but not the software, so you can only play the 8 preloaded presets. And there is a lot of noise coming out.
Thanks for the info.... I will probably stay away from it.
Anyway I have some other FV-1 PCBs on the way. (I will need to practice my SMD skills)
