Last lot of parts ordered, if I'm lucky they will arrive by Saturday morning and I can get my first Mongrel up and running.

So PhilC how much power does a penta-core take? I'd have the dogs stand back so they don't get burned in the fireball. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Soldered all the jumpers in today, so just the caps and resistors to go till the last few parts arrive (opt and 16mhz osc)

Then I'll have to try catch up with @derkom and the other guys. Maybe Saturday for switch on?
