Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

I am led to believe that some sockets are better than others, so if you are
inclined to use sockets to make repairing & troubleshooting easier down the
road, or for swapping ROMs or something, then at least get good quality
sockets. I'm pretty sure that the kind with the "round" holes and posts, as
opposed to those Radio Shack "flat clip / flat leads" type are superior in
design.

In a rare move, the MOTM-110 uses a socket for the central chip, and that is
the type that Paul uses.

(While on that subject.... Paul, I noticed that a couple of capacitors are
different on the MOTM-110 that I just built as compared to the one I built a
year ago [anal of me to notice, yeah]. I think there are two 220pf caps as
opposed to another odd value that I can't remember off-hand. Is that
anything that I should go back and mod to the old one, or was this a very
minor design change...? Thanks!)
