DFB1X bare bones build

For now it seems ok, will be moving onto another machine now. Which might even be Mikro's nuked TT. :-)

Would be very keen to see your troubleshooting process, if you decide to make a forum post about it :)

Yeah Mikro and I had a chat about this and we're both up for it - but I'm not very well set up for this yet. I need to do a bit of research on the TT's 'special' monitor port and see what I have that can be connected up to it. Also need to arrange reliable power for the board. Both of these things are 'simple stuff' but could lead to LOL results if they're not working first - and it's tricky to confirm either of them are correct when all you have is a dead board :P so I just need a bit of quiet time to sort those things and I can make a start on the machine.

In any case I'll open a thread about it separately when I do get started on it.

@dml there's nothing too special about the monitor port. It's just VGA (with a slightly different frequency to normal) but it should work on any monitor.

That's already useful to know. One less thing I need to do :)

@dml Not sure if this was mentioned anywhere in the docs, but might be worth checking your build in case it has the same problem..

I solderblobed the full builds, but likely the bare-bones didn't get fixed.. really can't remember..

Thanks - I'll check that, looks easy enough to sort out.

Forgot to say - I did check this and the solder blob was missing. Continuity check said the link was good, resistance check said 1 ohm or something so it was just maybe on the edge. Have solder-blobbed it anyway and its fine.
