I've just taken delivery of the PCBs for the 64-bit core memory planes:
The cores themselves will reside in the central holes, with the X and Y select lines running between the pin headers. There are 4 FFC (flat flexible cable) connectors around the outside for running the X and Y lines through the stack, and 2 JST headers on the left for the SENSE and INHIBIT lines.
8 of these PCBs will stack to make a 64-byte memory, and the stack will plug into a panel via pin headers on the bottom plane. The panel will have the line drivers, sense amplifier and flip-flops for shuttling data in and out of the memory.
I will need to do some experimentation with a single plane before proceeding to the final panel design.

25...8 for data stack, 8 for return stack, 8 for main memory, and 1 for experimentation
Are you sure? yes | no
makes sense... But only one spare ?
Are you sure? yes | no
Wow, you ordered about 20 PCB !
