Most of the passive components installed. Waiting on 33 ohm resisters. Thought I ordered 40 but when they arrived they were 3.3 ohm. They would most likely be ok but still waiting for the memory card so I'll wait for the 33's.

Nice. Thanks for posting your progress!

I have to come up with a better handle...?? I like Rubber_jonnie... You have to have lived in a UNIX would to put an under score in your name!!

Funnily enough I lived for a very long time in DOS and then Windows, but it pre-dates even that, as it was my somewhat unsavoury nickname (I don't know why to this day!) at school.

Though I started adding in the underscore out of habit I suppose, because a lot of OSes don't play well with spaces in file and directory names.

I do a lot more UNIX/Linux type stuff these days though

My thought also about the _. I'm an a certified windoze hater. I'd rather write hand coded assembly for intel than be forced to operate in a sewer.(windoze). I've spent most of my life working in a UNIX or UNIX derivative os, HP-UX, Linux, OS9, SunOS, SYS5 and others. Then I was forced into the windoze sewer!.. Its like running a race in a formula 1 car and have it replaced with a broken kiddies push car!.. I just can't articulate my disdain of windoze...

Anyway congrats on the _!! love it.

These were the after lunch pictures. Moving right alone. Haven't put the video connector on.. attempting to decide if I'm going to hack it on the board or just make a "special cable".

There are the adapter pcbs I did.. might be easier to order those ? https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 211#p10291

I guess I'm a little slow. It wasn't obvious to me how to easily use it. It looks like it takes two video female connectors?? If I just wire from the board to the bad side and put the connector on the good side it would be a bitch to mount.. I'm most likely missing something obvious..
