Apple 1 PCBs due to arrive on Monday.

Look me up on AIM on Monday – “illegalwithaw” at 9:00 PM EST and join the group chat. I hope to be able to post images of the boards and let you know how they are looking.

I just received the decoupling caps, the last components I had on order. Though they will be functional, I’m not happy with them, since they are so small, unlike anything used on an original. I’ll try ordering a different decoupling cap that will hopefully look a lot more like the original, and the ones I don’t use on the prototype will go into the scrap box.

I’ve figured out the solution to the keyboard-PS/2 reconfiguration issue. I’ll put in a double row of KK type header pins. They make housings that can be individually wired and plugged in. This way, you’ll be able to make up several headers that suit your needs and just plug in the one you need. Unfortunately, it’s going to add some cost to the device, but I think it will be worth it. Here is a link to a housing as seen at digikey.

Software changes aren’t necessary for this, but I’m going to reassign outputs on the AVR, anyway, in order to clean up the PCB. I’m going to try to find time to build a prototype unit this weekend.
