Glad to hear you're working on it Adrian. It would be nice to have a
little more space between the traces and a lot more room for the
toroids.  For the guys making their own PCB's, and especially for the
old farts like me, and not using solder mask, really close tracks cause
a lot of spillovers.  Tomorrow I get the four parts I'm missing and my
mainboard will be done. I can't wait to fire it up.  Jerry
