What more can I say? I'll post additional pictures when I start the build. Geoff. |

What do you think of the manual? Did you find the part layout legend? Let me know when you start building it! I can't wait to see pictures! :) |

So far I've installed the LEDs in the front panel. I haven't wired them yet, but it's a start :) |
I have not uploaded them yet but the entire manual will be available for download this weekend. Then you wouldn't need to copy a part you could print a new page.
I wish I had the part layout page when I made my first one. ;) |
I thought for a moment that you'd sent me an extra socket, until I noticed that I'd done this :rolleyes:
http://www.solivant.com/misc_images/...mb_mistake.jpg I spent a few minutes trying to unsolder the socket, but I didn't want to risk damaging the board. I just ended up cutting the other socket in two and doing this. http://www.solivant.com/misc_images/...take_fixed.jpg Anyway, the sockets are done, now on to resistors, capacitors, etc. |
I think I put IC51's socket upside down in one of mine... Don't feel too bad. ;)

Grant,
In the diagram for the pin numbering on the 1404 memory cans, is that looking down from above the can like with normal chips, or looking up from below. I assume it's looking down, but I want to be sure since they're hard to find. Geoff. |
They are hard to find, but I can get them. I wouldn't leave any kit builder hanging... : ) The pin numbering is from the top looking down.
Its possible that a higher resolution picture would help. This one was taken with the flash. I tried to use non-flash pictures in the manual. http://www.stockly.com/images3/07092...ocket_3258.jpg |
Grant,
In your assembly instructions you offer options for some of the decoupling caps. e.g. C14 can be 1000u/100v or 33u/50v. What's the best way to decide which one to use? Geoff. |
I decided to go a different route with the key switches. I don't like the idea of gluing them into place, even though that's how they were originally fixed, and I didn't want them to be sitting too high off the front panel as they would do if they were snapped into their locations. Instead, I built this little carrier that is held in place with screws.
http://www.solivant.com/misc_images/...ch_carrier.jpg Some may not like the non-standard screw heads showing like that, but I figured I'm going with LEDs and colored keycaps anyway, so why not. http://www.solivant.com/misc_images/..._assembled.jpg |
