DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Datasheet says PQFP44, all libs say the same size (one I used) but none of them match the pdf size, WTF ?!

In actual fact it wouldn't have fitted anyway because the video un-f*ck board is actually in the way :roll:

So the chip will have to go to the left of the shifter, only place it can really fit...

Re-designed the board.. correct IC footprint now.. plus moved the IC to the left so it doesn't get in the way of the video un-fu*k board...

Design has been approved for fab... there is one PCB (PSU pcbs I think) which hasn't been approved.. so need to chase that up.. hopefully get it approved tomorrow.. then will pay for the order and get UPS shipping (which is going to cost £77 :roll: )

In anycase, I didn't want to keep waiting for stuff to turn up.. so hopefully I can get all this stuff in about a weeks time...

Don't follow what you mean ?
Well I already have the shifter in the adaptor board for your ram expansion.
Hey, maybe with the memory expansion board under the video card it will be high enough to clear the video un-fu*kit card!! :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup:

Hey, don't encourage him, soon we'll need an ATX case to fit everything in :D
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

:D I was waiting for when we would get to double deckers at some point on this board. Exxos called it a while back if I recall.

Sounds like you have just put in a big board order what with this and the booster as well. You are keeping that fab plant running this year.

I did have one question and that is around the availability of the Falcon DAC. Are they getting scarce too?
