    Here's another 1090 in the wild. I just need to clean the flux and power test the board before inserting the ICs. Excuse the laid over cap at C5 - they were too large to fit side by side and also, I had to cut the caps out of the cardboard/tape strips so I didn't rip the legs out. In doing so, the leads were too short to adjust so the cap would sit farther to the side.

    It only took 21 years to reach that conclusion, so maybe not much thought was put into it.

    Well, that definitely makes you an expert on the system, that's for sure!

    This would make a great title screen - the 1991 Psygnosis logo, in 52 colours. Stephen_Psygnosis1991.xex

    Details on that mod please? I'd love to have a 2-button mouse solution for some stuff I am working on. I assume it use a resistor and gets read as a paddle input?

    Same here, although given how bad I suck at gaming, the slower gameplay would probably be good for me! I will try it at least, to see how it looks. I love all things VBXE.

    The ODE only replaces the CD transport (motor, laser, etc.) It does not replace anything else. You couldn't for example plug an ODE into a stereo system and playback music with it.

    Right - I can't even find images that I think would look good converted as fast as he kicks these out.

    Bird - 105 colours. I did not mean to let this one run so long. I fell asleep and my poor machine was jamming away at 100% overnight. Stephen_Bird.xex

    Really wish I'd kept better notes about the time I spent when making mine. Some things to keep in mind for a person that has to assemble these. Every resistor, diode, transistor has to be pre-bent before insertion. This is not a design flaw, it's just how things work. The parts come "flat packed", and need removed from the tape strips and bent. I didn't count the # of solder points but unless someone has a wave soldering machine, these boards take hours to solder. Quickest guesstimate is 800 to 1000 solder points. As much as I'd love to consider an assembly service, I am just not setup to do it for anything that would be worth my time unfortunately. There's also the consideration that I would have to make a set of Atari LSIs in sockets to test them after assembly so as to not eventually destroy them after dozens of insertion cycles. Just throwing out some things to consider. I absolutely loved being on the beta test team for 1088XEL, 1088XLD, and 576NUC projects, but the thought of doing them as a service, I couldn't imagine it.
