Subject: [motm] MOTM-730 update

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).
