On to unfortunately bigger things! Next up is the CPU card and, boy oh boy, is this going to suck. First and foremost, a huge thank you to user jamesdenton over at LisaList for providing me with a busted CPU card, as he's allowed me to depopulate it and scan it for reference for this task. I need to find someone/somewhere with a 1200dpi scanner that can manage this board, but it will be nice to have a high resolution image set to refer to.
The schematics have been replicated and I'll be starting in on the board layout once I have the scans in hand; all said and done, this was about a weeks worth of work in my free time so I'm happy it went as fast as it did. I got this done in about the same time it took me to do the RAM card's schematics, so I'm going to interpret that as having at least advanced my skills a little bit, lol. I'm not looking forward to laying down all the traces, as the number of them is substantially higher than the RAM card. It may be a couple of weeks before this is ready, but I'm looking forward to it being done.
Here's where I am at the moment - this should look better in a few days, lol...
