Thanks James. That bending tool is brilliant 😁. I'm just hoping it works in the end 🤞. I'll be holding my breath when it comes to that moment 😂

Nice work. The chip for the BeebSID is a NanoSwinSid. It’s an AVR SID chip.

Thanks Johnathan. I'll be having a good read up before I embark on it. It was great to be gifted one. I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl

PICOZX and ZX +2A MAX are also good builds. The later is FPGA and has fewer parts. PICOZX runs on a Pi Pico and has even fewer parts

When will part 3 come out - I am also building this one. Purple board.

Hi David. It should be out shortly. I've had a bit of a wait for parts but everything is here now 😊

@davidcocklin2109 check you're using the right transistor in the first instance and the orientation for that transistor is correct

Did I miss the competition winners for these PCBs? Guess I wasn't a winner?

[@RetroComputingReboot]

Hi Colin. Unfortunately not. However, on a positive, I'll try make the next one a bit more exciting. I have a couple of ideas in the pipeline you might like
