Thanks guys.
As everything works now, I just realise how Acorn computers were really good back in time.

It really is, I wish I had enough space to have a few machines set up at once as this one would get a lot of my attention.

Yes, more room would be great.
@rubber_jonnie is very lucky...
Very neat work, looking good.HigashiJun wrote: 07 Oct 2023 08:25 Here is the Saturday update.
A pin for the IOC line (needed for the HD Floppy module) is now fitted. Much more convenient than directly soldering to the motherboard:

And here are all the wires routed and ready to connect (one for the HD module and the rest for the UltraVIDC):

The Ultra VIDC will be finally placed near the right speaker, rather than above the MEMC chip:

And since the VIDC will be overclocked in order to gain higher resolutions, a heatsink & fan has to be fitted on the chip:

It perfectly fits under the floppy drive.
That's all for today.
