Félicitations!
And don’t worry about retro stuff, you’re going to have plenty of time at night to work on it, just split between feeding times. ;)

Got 4 here from 11 to 21 and time is still very limited… even feeling there’s less and less…but maybe it’s just me getting older and slowing down :?

Meanwhile, today I had to update the kicad project of the STe motherboard, as a problem with the footprint of the cartridge port was reported.
I took a little time to rework the page with the video port to make it more readable (like, connect as much element as possible, and put the signal names on the connectors instead of generic 'vidX'). Because the STe was the first of that kind of work, and I have refined how I draw schematics since then.

It also makes the PCB more readable as the pinout of the port appears on each pin

I plan to edit the project further, little by little, at my own leisurely pace.

That is excellent! Your schematics were very helpful when fixing my STE, so your efforts are very much appreciated...
