Ordered components for DMA based core loader; arrived home today

COMPONENT ORDER PLACED

I sent the final order for the ICs, voltage regulators and terminal block to Digikey, so that I should have both PCBs and parts on hand by the time I am set up to do the assembly. The design has eighteen chips, all surface mount parts, which fit on the PCB. 

HOME FROM RHODE ISLAND TRIP TODAY

I landed this morning and am headed over to complete the final packing, labeling and arranging of everything in advance of the move which will begin on May 3rd. With the move itself seeming to be well in hand, I am starting to look ahead to the challenge of working out a layout for all the tables, boxes and machinery in the new location. Once that is done I will need to sort and place the containers then deal with all the partially or fully unsorted last minute containers I had to fill. 

I will be able to set up the bench fairly quickly for work on the 1130 voltage regulator as well as the assembly table to build the DMA loader. Thus I will be able to accomplish productive work interspersed with all the housekeeping activities.
