Simple Kicad For Simple Vintage Computer Hobbyists: Part 2 (PCB Ordering) [TCE #0580]
20Thanks to PCBWAY for their ongoing support! www.pcbway.com
Let's do some final tweaks, thanks to feedback from @1337Shockwav3 & @gshingles, and then send the PCB off to PCBWAY to be fabricated using their Kicad plug-ins.
Disclaimer: I'm not a Kicad super-user, I'm not a circuit design guru, I'm just a simple vintage computer hobbyist who needs simple PCBs from time to time.
