[Coco] RETRO innovations dual CPU PCB

[Salvador Garcia]

 Thanks again,

This is the part that I need:

This is a single row, 40 position, so I can just break it in half. I did not locate the double row though, at least not with the width for the uProcessor.

Also, if you are unfortunate enough to get the Single Row, Machined
Tooled Strips, you will want to make sure that they are Squared Up..

I used a Machined Socket, as a Jig, to hold the Machined Tooled Strips
Square while Soldering them into the Board..



Also, only Solder Each End, just Two Pins, so that if it isn't Square,
it is very easy to reheat and move, to the correct place.

Once your sure it's Square, then Solder the other 18 Pins on the Strip..  ;)

Figure that the Machined Tooled Strips should be Perpendicular to the
Circuit Board...
