Rev C prototype PCB arrive

[rich]

Hi,

The 5 rev C CFFA3000 prototype PCB have arrived and I have ordered parts to build up all five.
I also ordered 300 of the CF sockets because they are on allocation and are getting hard to find.
When I asked for 400 Arrow said they would only sell me 300!

Anyway, some time next week I should have the first rev c board built. And barring disaster, it will
work fine.

On the firmware end of things, we still have to do the file picker and long file names and a few other details.
Much of the work done in the last few months has been important, but mostly behind the scenes.
This makes the card handle more disk images which is good.

The first Rev C boards has been soldered together and is working fine!
This is a huge relief for me. The board took me 4 hours to assemble by hand.
I did it while listening to a biography of Steve Jobs.

The CF connectors I ordered have arrived also.
