Very well spotted! I would want to say: you found the secret error in our manual and win the grand prize! But the fact this, this is just an error we made and missed every time we checked the manual. I'll fix it for upcoming versions of course. Thanks for pointing this out. You could measure using t...

It's still there:

Nice work! You obviously have experience :) We let the people solder the components starting with the caps, to get some experience with soldering. More seasoned people will start with the low components, as you did. It's nice to see the defails, like lifting the PCB to the optimal position and how y...

Hi, The PS/2 adapter has past the prototyping phase and is ready for sale! As seen on https://gigatron.io/?page_id=86 : Upgrading Our early adopters can get the “Plug McPlugface” PS/2 keyboard adapter mini-kit for €10,00 including shipment. We’ll throw in an EPROM loaded with ROM v3 as well. This ve...

Nice! Hope it works. I see you also put our names on it

How does the audio IN work?

Nice job!

I should add that this is for the first version of the board. The later version (that has the name Pluggy McPlugface on it) is of a different size.

Nice work, tocksin!

Yes - I want one too
Obviously, we are already working on the PS/2 interface so that is an affordable way to attach a keyboard. But this PCB looks quite nice as it is!

You can play games while you are toasting bread! It's amazing!

Thanks for the write-up. I've doubled my RAM as well. I sacrificed a resistor to get two pieces of wire. I bent one to connect pins 2, 30 and 32 on the bottom of the socket. I bent the other to connect A15 to pin 31. The downside is that if I want to swap RAM, I need a soldering iron. ramdouble1.jpg...

Cool. I just built my own. I found some old serial plugs (DB9-RJ45) of which I sacrifised one. I just added some sugru to fill the small gap next to the PS/2 connector and it looks pretty nice.
