Looking good Ian, how are you finding the MS build so far? If you hit any snags, give me a shout - I think my build is likely very similar to yours so I may well have come across some of the same issues. g-l

Sweet! When you add the daughterboard, solder the wires on so they exit on the same side as the components, so that it will end up sitting upside-down compared to the main board - I didn't realise this at the time but the fit will be better.
