For folks who've socketed their STs that have the CPU at the front edge, do I need to take any extra care if I wanted to fit this into a case?

I don't have a case (or even a keyboard) for this, but it occured to me if I'm going to all the effort of removing the old pins to solder in ones that are going to be too high to allow a reloacator board or an actual CPU to fit under the keyboard seems a shame if I can head that off at the pass now.

I think I have an Exxos DIP64 socket somewhere. Perhaps that would make more sense to fit? Lower profile?

#avoidmoredesoldering :P

...and a decent start considering I've not added any extra bus pull-ups yet.

That's not a bad idea @PhilC

And a nice tower you are building up there @Badwolf

Haha -- smaller than the STE one!

How's that new case design coming along, @Icky? Is a Desktopper-style front extension going to be an option?

Asking for a friend... ;)

New development firmware seems pretty good!




Quick mention for the Exxos ROM switcher too. I'll have a proper build video for this kit in the next week or so, but things looking good!
