Re: exxos blog - random goings on
CPU PCB relocators comes. Bit of a tight fit but should just all fit...
Re: exxos blog - random goings on
A little bit "too" close
But it works and fits so I don't really care
As to if the booster fits or not is yet to be seen.
EDIT:
Sits higher than it would if the 2x 68K sockets are used (or 3x if the CPU was in a socket as well!)

Having to keep pressing and pulling out the board was starting to really hurt my hands again
so I had a better idea to use a ZIF socket. now things are moving along a lot faster and easier
