So there will be 18 boards assuming they'll all work..

So far today I have soldered the CPU on each one... Next to add the resistors and header pins... Then I'm going to hardwire the rest of the boards and making sure it works at 8MHz before I start soldering in the GAL's etc... Hours of fun..

This one works, well at 8MHz.. So hopefully this is a good sign :)

Next to programme the GAL's for it..

Second board finally built started tests...

I have to solder the SIL's on after testing because my motherboard already has 2.2K ones.

Onto the 3rd...

I am going to keep building these for the rest of today, and then whatever is built will head onto stock. The others will have to wait for a future batch as I have other things I need to get done next week.

The remaining boards have been built today and there is currently 17 in stock.

I will not be making any more of the V2 series after these last boards have sold.
