Darren A, Zippster ( and group )

Darren A, thanks for designing this SDC board!!!  Zippster, thanks for 
being Production Manager for another run of these SDC Boards!!!  A 
fantastic Kit, and an Incredible Price, for all that you get!!!!

I just picked up my Two SDC Kits from my Mail Box...  Spent an Hour and 
a Half, Part Checking, Test Fitting, and Soldering Components... 
Everything was Perfect!!!!  It Booted up the First Time..

( I only had to look at Zippster's Pictures to install the Electrolytic 
Capacitor correctly, since I am use to seeing little Negative Signs on 
my Caps, and these don't have them.. And I had to try the LED, before 
Soldering it in, That Cathode/Anode thing...  Turned it around, and then 
it Worked Fine...)   Then again, I have Hand Assembled boards like this 
for Work, so I knew what Pit-Falls to avoid, like starting with the 
Shortest Components, first, then the Taller Ones..

I am fairly new to CoCo's, it has just been a little over a year for me 
with a "stock" CoCo 3, and more recently, a "stock" 64K CoCo 2 with 
Extended Basic.  I still need to Buy Me/Make Me a Drive Wire Cable, but, 
in the mean time, I can use the SDC to copy Disk Images found on the 
'net to my Floppy's....

Very Many, Thanks Again......
