Watching to see how it's done for when I start my H5 build.
BTW, since you're reminiscing, I still have the photo of the row of bombs from the Alpha, dated September 18th 2018 :D

BTW. The reset switch footprint was a bit of on H4 if I remember correctly, how was the fit this time?
Yes the reset switch fits nicely now
@DoG :)

I thought I might have been. Some might say I did it deliberately, some might think I laughed when It was sideways, knowing the consequences :lol:

I think the brand-new switches do not have exactly the same footprint as the original ones I think that was the problem last time...

FIx #1 - Done.
So I have done the first fix but have placed the wire underneath the board so as the saying goes. "Out of sight out of mind". Not in my OCD one though.

Still progressing but have run out of parts so need to wait.

Just a note on the BLITTER socket being made from turned SIL sockets to allow the plugging in of the Phoenix Sparkalaphobia board into it.
It also allows the plugging in of a through hole PLCC socket with an original BLITTER so is a good test board for that platform.

Hi, yes they are on pre-order see the start of this topic -
https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... &start=140
You will need to assemble some components and will need to get the Atari ST chips from a donor machine or from
@exxos' web store.
The BOM is here -
