[DSP-10] A DSP-10 construction question

Mon, 22 Jul 2002 19:25:16 -0400

My advice is, before you start to mount parts on the PCB, use the board to
mark the holes in the Hammond box.  Then drill these holes.  The next
hardest thing, for me, is/was to cut the holes in the case for the various
connectors etc..
