Sounds fair, after all... the only way is up... possibly with magic black smoke.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Hopefully the BOM doesn't change too much between now and build time (yes, I did fix the missing SILs). I needed some other items to finish off a couple of monitor projects, so decided to go ahead and get ready for the H4.

Nice. The prep going on for the H4 is interesting to watch :)

Could someone confirm that this is the correct orientation of the oscillator?

That puts pin 2, which the datasheet says is ground, on the PCB ground, so I think it's the right thing to do, but want to be sure before I make it permanent. :)

I think the tiny dot is pin 1, and pin 1 and "8" are VCC... So think its right have you have it now.
