I had reached out to them over the weekend for a new Micropod to accompany a spare DRB emulator I have set up on a tablet running windows 10 and could not locate it on their site. I sent them a message and have just received their reply.
“Sorry
We don't sell it anymore.
Any further questions please feel free to contact us.
Thanks and Regards!”
I believe that I saw a thread where someone has purchased a Micropod from another seller.
Does annyone out there have experience in procurement of a Micropod from another vendor partner?
I also bought mine on AliExpress. All of them are Emulators basically so it really doesn't matter where you get it from as long as it's cheap and the seller has good feedback.
I have all the DRB software and updates installed on a Windows 7 VM Image that is exported into OVF that anyone can use with Vmware player, workstation, VirtualBox, Proxmox, etc.
If anyone is interested I can paste a link. Would cut down on the prep time for folks. I just need to mess with Compressing it to see if I can get it under 10GB.
Edit: uploaded it to Google drive, was able to get it down to 8.2GB. Will need to install Winrar to extract the archive then use your choice of VM Software (VMware workstation or player or even import into ESXi, or use Virtual Box or ProxMox) it's setup in an open format so any one will work.
Here's a how-to by VMWare -

This has all updates as of 10/2023 and I tested it by opening on another laptop with the Micropod without issues. Just remember to not connect to the internet once you launch the VM.
