FIX HISTORY (SCHEMATIC)




The BGACK pull up fix wasn't actually needed, it was another side of a jumper pad, so wasn't showing up in the diagram when I looked before..
https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =10#p10086

Some resistors have been moved to RP5 (new resistor pack). New RP near 1772 for pull ups (3 seperate resistors moved)


FIX HISTORY (PCB)

(bare in mind nothing in this PCB is routed. Connectors moved may not be 100% but as close as I can tell )

  • PSU holes should now be correct
  • MIDI & Cartridge posts moved upwards, should now be correct
  • All back row ports (aside from serial) have been moved to the right and adjusted. They all should now align.
  • MIDI connectors now have "dual holes" to fit both styles.
  • Added floppy mounting holes.
I still have a LOT of holes to add , plus floppy posts etc.. this will be ongoing for some weeks most likely.

Added floppy holes... very hard to get it 100% as having to print out on paper to check which isn't ideal. Really could have done with a blank PCB... BEST has some, but didn't get anywhere like normal, only takes paypal :roll:

Saying that, I got some duff boards, I need to take some connectors off for the STF anyway.. So will probably heatgun the board to death and remove all parts from it so I got something flat I can measure against properly.
