Assembled last night, rechecked and touched up a few solder joints, and it powered on straight away!  Top photo WozMon, bottom photo BASIC running CHECKERS.BAS, loaded from SD card.  I'd say that's 100%!

Good kit and instructions, thanks Chris!!

Thanks so much for the feedback.  I have actually learned a lot through this beta.  It's definitely a more challenging kit than the Altair-Duino.  So many more possibilities for pins to get bent, solder bridges, even static problems (the 6502 is still 1970s technology!)

I've probably built two dozen of these and I actually get excited when one doesn't work right away - because that's a chance to learn something...
