Yesterday I finally ordered the new PCB. This PCB is sponsored by the kind people of PCBWay, the well-known high-quality PCB fabrication company from China. During production you can always check in which production state your pcb is, and I watched an impressive series of videos that show all steps in the production process.
This is the KiCad 3D-impression of the new PCB:
With respect to the first PCB, the main changes are:
- fix mistakes (VGA connector)
- add Mouse connector
- add HW for sending info to keyboard (and mouse)
- add memory bank select
- change video pixel/color generation for 640x400 mode
- change WiFi module type
- simple 4-wire connect to Raspberry Pi (for file transfer)
- instead of a SPI header, a micro-SD card connector is mounted
- changed SPI reading, it can now be done in 2 cycles/bit (instead of 5)

I have read every log on your cpu designs in lurk mode ever since the first kobold. Very cool to see this becoming an actual product.
