Rest of the kits have arrived

[Will Senn]

I just unboxed my:

32K RAM Kit

32K ROM Kit (hopefully preprogrammed)

RIOT Gadgets Kit

Cassette Kit

All parts present and accounted for :). Yay. Solder city I'm coming... prolly not until next week, though :(. Everything was pretty simple to count, but two parts I'd never seen before... A 100uH inductor, and a 0R5 resistor - had to look them up on the internet to be sure, but they were there too.

All set for cassette fun, soon as I solder that puppy up. Any tips or tricks to that project? It looks a little cramped on some of it!

Later,

Will

So far, I successfully tested the extended RAM and ROM MS BASIC... yeeha - looks like my soldering skills have improved. Wow were there a lot of challenges though - getting the zif socket to go in, soldering the socket over the backside of the pinouts, those 3-pin out deals, whew. Glad my daughter was around as another pair of hands, oh and everybody ought to have a hair tie rubber bandy thingie to hold stuff on :). Still to test - the rest of the ROM programs, the RIOT gadgets, and the cassette card!

Ok. All ROM programs tested and working. I found the operating manual, so I now know what they are and how to run 'em... yay. Gadgets and cassettes up next.
