As of today my NeoBiosMasta for MVS and CD are open hardware. People can feel free to use, sell, modify my invention as they see fit. I'll be sending the files to be put in the NeoDev wiki as I really don't like to mess with that stuff. I'll also post these to oshpark for people to make at will.
Why am I doing this? I'm just tired of being worried about people ripping off my idea. It's too much stress, seriously. It really bothers me alot when I read things that either are negative about me or my products. I also don't want to stand in the way of progress or new products based off my idea. I don't want Raz to have to pick sides (I never asked anyone to) and I don't want people to have to wait for me to restock.
It's just not worth the stress.
I'm not "rage quitting", I'm just doing what I think is best for the Neo fans. This doesn't mean I'm quitting projects for good, I'm just letting this one go. This decision is good for everyone. I can focus on other things and you guys can get more products from different people. The VMC NBM will not be part of the open hardware release.
For those who aren't familiar with the history behind this, here is the original thread on the NBM from 2010:

I had fun making these for people for the last 6 years. It's the one project I am very proud of and I want to thank everyone for your support of the NBM over the years.
EDIT:
NeoGeoDev Wiki now has an entry including a link to the OSH Park files for those who want to print their own.
