I finished the pc board layout for the last board in the set (the CPU board). I got it to fit on 4 layers (was assuming 6, like the '650 needed). The Gerber files are at the pc board shop, so in about 4 weeks I should have some to test. I need to get the front panels ordered next. I purposely designed the CPU board to be 'generic' format, it can fit behind any panel size (hmmmm.....). It does use the 6-pin power connector, I am not a fan of on-board regulation unless there is no other way (like the 1.25V need for the FPGA on the CG). This weekend I will finish the kit parts inventory and parts ordering. I have some family business to attend next week + jury duty (ack!) but I am taking off the entire last week of May specifically to catch up with MOTM stuff (as a penalty, have to take wife to Victoria, BC in July. Any MOTMers in the area I will buy beer). Paul S.
