exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

@PaulJ No idea :( The assembly place has several other projects still outstanding as well :roll: I have not heard anything from them for the past few weeks. I am looking for other assembly places currently for future projects as the waiting time is just getting ridiculous lately.

@exxos , must suck to create the board and then have to wait forever to get it built. How many boards are they building?

They got 5 H4's to build, 3 of have people waiting on them. The other 2 are for me :)

I am stuck waiting on the alt-ram boards for flashyclock as well..

I think the colour scheme has a nice UK feel to it...

So do I - go Big Blue! (University of Kentucky Wildcats)! :)

Whilst moving the MAX238.. I noticed the capacitor is actually in the way in between the two chips :roll:



I also noticed the jumper links for FlashClock are actually obstructed by the sockets as well :roll:


I think a lot of these resistors should have been the smaller 1/8watt jobbies as well.

Anyway, now to see if I have some 28 & 24 pin sockets...

The cap near the 238 isn't as bad if you fit sockets but I did trim the sockets slightly.

I cannot find any sockets :(, so the capacitors are coming out :) I found the ones for the ACIA chips.. so not worth doing a order just for 5 sockets.

I eventually used SiL sockets for the Flashy Clock socket

Yep smaller resistors work well, they just fit. May be 0805's in the future for caps and resistors :)

Yeah, but I'm not going to do all those changes unless there is a likelihood of another run of the boards :)

Are we going to see a newly born H4 this week? :)

Will it be @exxos or will it be @rubber_jonnie :hide:
