@webheadx1

Many thanks, was just what I was looking for.

This has become quite a long thread to read now, so to save time, is there any boards left? Is it too late to get on board?

I may have 1 or 2 left once i receive and check them, i will let you know later


@thread.

I thought i would share this solder tip that i have never seen anyone else do, it is simple to do and will save the eyeballs and fingers.





First off, imagine you need to solder the 4 memory chips on this board. (On the GB1000 there are a lot more. So the easiest way to line them up is to make a set square ("T" square). find 2 pieces of old board or something that has flat square sides and then glue them together to make a right angle. as shown in above picture.

Once that is done you can then slide it up and down the board you are working on as shown in the picture below and when you rest the chip to be soldered against it, you know it is square



Then when you are happy with it you can tack it on either end and verify its straight and then continue on soldering the chip

Piece of cake eh!!

Just remember to plan ahead so you can use this tool without obstructions

kipper what is that board in your pics?

[Cryton]

Judging by the pic's it's his A600 8mb ram pcb with two of his hybrid video card's. He just seem to create all this stuff, a remarkable man

Hi,

Are you referring to the ISP1024 chips. I have bought astock of those ready for the next batch buy. They do not need to be programmed as they can be programmed once the board is up and running (Same as the TSOP) so don't worry about that

Thanks for that Kipper. Since I posted that query, webheadx1 (imigger on eab) offered me his own order that he's already paid you for, and I've agreed to purchase his I believe he's discussed this with you already?

I'll want to add a few extra components to the order, so I'll PM you on that.
