So while waiting for the FPGA's to arrive I've mostly been thinking about making a second circuit board to house the PIF's. Made a shopping list for tomorrow and everything But 5 minutes ago I opened up a 64 for the first time to look at the PIF's, and my god are they tiny... Was gonna buy what we in Sweden seem to call an experiment board to solder sockets for the chips and output from the card so that I could just pop the board on top of the FPGA I/O pins. But seeing that all these experiment cards I find seem to have a distance of 2,54 mm between the holes, though I might read the info incorrectly, I can't figure out how to mount a socket/PIF... Are the any adapters to tackle this size difference?
BTW I bought 2 spare 64s and 4 controllers for $50 this Sunday(had to go gather it via a 45 minutes buss ride with a severe cold and a fever hehe, what we do for the things we love ), so still fully committed to this project
