I listed some here already... https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 011#p24044

BGACK pullup fix

@derkom - your soldering is way neater than mine :)

I probably just have a worse case of OCD. :lol:

Resistor networks in (minus any more @exxos forgot :lol:), SIMM socket in (planning to try both memory setups), most ports in (I'll probably not install the DB19 until verifying this can boot), reset switch in.

No real surprises or challenges this time. I already knew the reset switch was going to be a little wonky (it was actually the first thing I checked when I got the board), but it can go in with a little "encouragement". :)

:bravo:

Well one resistor so far isn't bad I think :lol:

Yeah, stupid datasheets :roll:

Great progress @derkom almost there :)

@exxos - I remember we spent several days measuring the RESET switch when looking at the 3D models and footprints as they didn't match up.

@Icky Yeah, and after all that, it didn't line up anyway. I didn't have any switches to measure at the time, so went on the datasheet dimensions.. Should stop doing that...

It's not too bad a fit, just Bend the ground pins slightly and it fits. 8/10 for effort :lol:

Does that mean you have fitted yours then @PhilC
