Please refer to The definitive MB-6582 PCB/kit threat located at http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11367.0.html

baseboard parts kits are in process

the kit has everything needed for the baseboard except the PCB itself, SID chips, power input jack

the kit includes 8 512 bankstick ram chips

included PICs will have bootloader and MIOS, builder uploads the app via sysex.

the app will not be preloaded with MIOS/mbSID v2 as the software changes and you'll have to upload the newest version anyways.

pricing $100 with PIC chips, $75 without.

there is no ETA for these yet, so the answer is “When it's done”

You can post a “count me in for one/two/three…” in the thread as a sort of preorder

You can email Jason.S.Williams -at- gmail.com and he will put your email address on a “notification list” and will email you when PCBs become available for sale in SmashTV's shop. He might also send you updates about things you might be interested in, like bulk orders for MB-6582 parts.

Questions, comments, are welcomed in the thread linked above

Do NOT write PMs to either SmashTV or Wilba about ordering them

Yes, but this will happen after the base kits are shipped

Of course. You'll have to create a pcb yourself though, as the layout is not publicly available.

there's not a BOM, but lists what you need right here:

CS parts list

base pcb parts list

If you feel like creating a BOM with order numbers from mouser/reichelt/… feel free to do so and add it to the Wiki and link to it from here

Note that the dual-gang 500k pots used at the back aren't on the parts list, nor are the eight 3-pin SIL connectors to connect them to the SID modules

No. As this would lead to an insane amount of extra work when packing the kits

No.
