Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~
People should find solutions to problems, not find problems with solutions.

Re: exxos blog - random goings on
Doing a bit more routing, but its at the point where its starts getting really complicated now. I'm ripping up sections I already routed as I found better paths to link stuff up. Hopefully it will free up some area to route the more problematical signals.

Re: exxos blog - random goings on
Still routing away.. Found a "short" between the DMA and the shifter blue lines 
That came about as I used "B0" in the DMA buffers chips, and "B0" for BLUE 0 on the shifter Probably would have been a good fault though.. in that the floppy drive only works when blue isn't being displayed on the screen or something
Routing getting hard now. having to rip up loads of tracks and juggle to just route 1 now. Its got to the point of more like 1 or 2 track routes per hour now
Made a lot of progress though.. about 50% more done than last week.

As a side note, The low profile RTC boards are not forgotten about, neither are the TOS206 boards (which will be a replacement for the T-boards)
RTC

I'm going to try and finish some of these projects over x-mas.

Re: exxos blog - random goings on
Busy routing for 11 hours straight 
There was some DRC issues which should be fixed now.. at least on the part shown. I still need to sort out the GLUE to CPU wires yet..
I'm going to try and start doing some PSU builds tomorrow.. famous last words...
