Controller port to serial cable

Of course, the day after I send you the hand-etched board, the fabricated PCB's finally get here. Anyway, other than one really minor adjustment, I'd say they're ready to go. I managed to get the length of the board just right so that the edge hangs over the dip in the plastic far enough to grip it, but not so far as to cover the dip, so you are able to grip the board to get it out of the socket (look at the second photo to see what I mean). I'll try to get the info to you for ordering boards, but I'm in the process of packing up to head home for Thanksgiving, so I might have to get it to you this weekend.

Hi, received PM. Thanks so much for sending!

And yeah wow, that PCB looks absolutely fantastically amazing o.O

Really appreciate all your help with this, been trying to get this done for several years now with no luck until now.

After Thanksgiving is fine, ordering immediately probably won't have any work started until after that anyway.

Yeah, I'm impressed that something, in quantity, has finally materialized.

I just had a few other ideas for the edge filler that I'll play around with when I get the chance. Hot glue works, but it is still very flexible once it has cooled, unlike the very rigid plastic that makes up the rest of the socket. I can think of a few other options that should cure much more solidly, I just need to figure out how to properly dye them without compromising the curing process.
