Assessing a location for the Virtual 2315 Cartridge Facility interface board

MOST COMPONENTS SOLDERED ON INTERFACE BOARD

I had a few hours in the workshop in between time spent with family visitors. I soldered on the connectors, installed the pins that allow me to hook up the cable connector from the 1130 controller logic, soldered on a cable that plugs into the disk drive, and a few other components. I still need to install the voltage regulator, resistors and capacitors. 

TESTED CABLE ROUTING AND MOUNTING POINT FOR BOARD

I had to find a potential location for the interface board where the cables from the disk drive, 1130 controller logic and emulator box can be routed simply and neatly. I did find a good spot, as you can see from the temporary mount with cable ties. 

I will drill and tap for the mounting screws along the left side of the interface board then work out a mount point for the right side.
