In sunny Costa Mesa California. Was gonna try to head down to Infinite Loop till I realized it would be 14 hours round trip 😔
Just a few tracks on this one:

Tomorrows job is to delete half of it and redraw it again :ROFLMAO:

I can't set the single angled simm slots that the original rocket uses, I can get doubles but these have a different row spacing and obviously they won't work for the wired 3 + 5 slot layout radius used so I need to quite a bit of moving around in the RAM section to make it all fit. Ultimately I might just rework the design to used 2 72pin simms instead but that's something for the future

Could you maybe cut the double slots? Or just solder the RAM chips directly to the board?

I did consider both but soldering the RAM leaves it non upgradeable which is not idea and cutting the slots apart seemed like a lot of effort, moving things around to make the slots fit was not actually that bad and only took a couple of evenings to do. Test boards have now been finalised and sent off to JLC :)
You can hook up a Classic board to an SE chassis (they’re different pinouts so you have to rewire) although the picture is overdriven and inverted. I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to make an adapter.

How odd to see even a compact Mac, still less a 68030 Mac with only 2MB of RAM! My SE problem now is that I lost the cable connector between the Logic board and Analog board, so even though I think I've fixed the flyback, I can't test it yet!
