A Soldering Iron, Part 2

I got another soldering iron.  Of course, the solder will not stick to the PCB.  Back to the drawing board for the regulator.

I recieved a heatsink compound, which I will not be using because the solder won't stick to the PCB!

More Mouser components are coming - a potentiometer for the clock control, a few more ICs, decoupling capacitors, 80 more LEDs, some more EEPROM, and a variety of resistors.

The Components are Coming

I have just ordered all the components left to order for the computer.  Hopefully they will come within the next few weeks.  I shipped them using the postal service, so no guarantees.

Pictures will be coming, probably starting with the general-purpose AC line voltage to 5 volt converter.
