Hello all.
The new PCBs for the FPGA module arrived a little while ago now & have been assembled.
Testing is underway at present, and looking o.k. so far. 1 minor oopsicle that needed fixing caused by
late night design (swapped D0 & D1 for the config flash due to [mis]reading the SPI interface names DO is not d0).
Anyway, here's a photo of the fully assembled PCB :

Not a very clear photo, but I'm very happy with the PCBs. I tried a new supplier for these and the boards seem really good
quality with excellent mask and overlay registration. The boards assembled really well too, with only 1 of the boards needing
2 small shorts removed.
Hopefully, in the next week I'll have some photos of the board in-situ doing basic Microbee things.
