I figured I would start a new thread on this topic rather than derail further the Incognito board pre-order thread any further.
As you may or may not have read, I have installed the Ultimate 1 MB into a 130xe. The MMU and OS ICs were removed easily and I soldered in the adapters with no issues.
Now where I have the problem is soldering the 4 wires to the pins on the CPU. I was a little over confident after soldering up the MMU and OS ICs that I figured the wires would be easy. I was wrong. Candle was nice enough to provide a tip on how I should attempt the task.
My further questions, does the wire need to actually be connected to the CPU pins on the top side of the PCB? Is there any reason why I can't run a wire underneath to the appropriate pins of the CPU?
Also, what type of wire should I use for this? solid core or stranded? 22 AWG maybe? The Ultimate 1 MB I purchased didn't come with all the extras to complete the installation so I've had to locate the items needed on my own and of course I made some wrong selections.
Fortunately neither my 130xe or the Ultimate 1 MB is damaged. I'm not that bad with it, just ignorant of techniques to soldering anything other than the underside of a PCB with IC legs sticking through it!
Thanks.
