MOTM-730 update

2008-05-13 by Paul Schreiber

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).
