Done the footprint of the power port filter.

The Atari joystick/mouse port. I was fortunate enough that one of the footprint of a regular DE-9 port has the mounting hole at the right position. I duplicated it and added a non plated, ovale, hole.

Thanks.

I try to stay focused on only a few projects, that's the only way for me to reach my goal. For the ST, I have to create 2-3 more custom footprints, and then I can finally move on the PCB.

You should have put audio in - we'd all love to hear your lovely singing voice! :)

hé hé :D, if I added a sound track, and more than sound, some comments, it would take too much time to edit. And I am more at ease at writing things.

Finally, I just capture my work session and upload it right away and voilà ! done. A workflow with minimized friction.

Good enough, I reckon. :)

A very very small progress since last time, today I felt motivated enough to check the wiring of the resistors networks (last time, I realized that contrary to my expectations of 8 bussed resistors, they are in fact 9 bussed resistors). I first checked the original schematics, as it were oddly (to me) using the pin #10 for some of them, and then confirmed with the actual board.

It's good for now, until I find something else. The github repository is up to date.
