there's no way I want to combine both kits onto one board because audio wise, it will be best keeping the Atomahawk board nice and close to the filter chip.

having said that, the rev 1.3 board is to be replaced by rev 1.4 which will include a new 1Meg serial flash rom. It will sit right where the battery holder sits. Don't worry, I'll publish a full explanation for those who already have 1.3 or before to add the 1Meg flash rom so that everyone gets the benefit.

The new 1Meg flash ROM will free up a lot of space for additional code. I can't do the arpeggiator until we get some EEROM flash space back.

The old coin-cell battery can be removed and it should be removed.

:-)

Mike.

============ ========

have you thought about combining the two kits onto one board? or is the
headache of doing the layout more trouble than it's worth? without the
battery, it ∗almost∗ looks like both kits can be done on a single board
the same size and shape as the HAWK-800 board.

oh, and what about the coin-cell battery on my 800 main board... is there
any reason to keep that?
