Installed new Exxos Falcon clock patch in my Phantom

Hey guys,
A few years ago I used Exxos's v1 clock patch, but then I installed a Phantom accelerator in my Falcon and it didn't work. I was out of options but luckily @mikro had uploaded schematics of the phantom clock patch which was designed to work with it, so I made this DIY patch and it worked OK. In the last few years I noticed I my SCSI wasn't reliable and so I tried Exxos new clock patch which has inherited certain phantom features like the gate delay. But also has the added benefit of all his other measurements and tweaks with resistors and capacitors to reduce ringing and noise.
Long story short: it works perfectly! And my SCSI is also now 100% reliable.
Patched my sdma trace as it was previously cut:
