I've just seen a posting pointing to this project: https://github.com/openscopeproject/InteractiveHtmlBom Looks like it could be very useful. IIRC the Analog V2 boards I built for my Apple IIe had interactive HTML BoMs and it was just brilliant, both for ordering/tracking parts and also during the ...

Need to build the 610 expansion board for the OSI next
