So I received all of the SMT parts today, and attempted to verify that I’ve used the right footprints for the parts. This was a worthwhile effort because I found a few different problems. Also, digi-key shipped me...
Amiga A501 Replacement
All SMT parts on order, rough idea of parts costs
So all the SMT parts have been ordered for the prototype PCB. Once they come in, I’ll be testing the placement of the parts on top of a printed layout to see if the chips/parts match the layout — if there...
Finalized schematic and PCB is coming along nicely
SMT parts will be ordered soon. Once they arrive, I’ll double-check the pad design/placement is good, and then order the PCBs! Everything is coming along swimmingly and I should have a prototype PCB in a few...
Moving from prototype on a solderless breadboard to PCB soon
So I’ve got a reasonable number of memory tests passing with the prototype solderless breadboard. There are some minor issues that are mostly related to the stability: Sometimes my memory board steps on the built...
Sometimes the amiga recognizies my ram board, some very basic memory tests are passing
So I’m starting to make some progress here, but I still have some troubles with my expansion board prototype. For the first time, the initial exec-rom-based check passed, and the memory auto-configured. This...
