Apple 1 Replica Project Restarted #5

icomparision-mage-of-board
The front and back copper layers are starting to look pretty good. I can still make some improvements, but I’ll take a break from focusing on those layers and do some work on the silkscreen layer. I feel comfortable enough with progress that I’ve started ordering enough parts for about 12 boards. Attached is an image of the front copper and solder mask artwork colorized and put next to the same image of an actual original board. This kind of comparison can help with accuracy. In creating this comparison image, I found 3 to 4 things that need correcting. Can you find them? Note the hard corners of the digial traces as compared to the actual board. I intend to soften those corners, before going to production, but it will be one of the last things that I do.
