  • mount mid-line mount connector,
  • repair whatever I destroyed in the process (which **should** only be the configuration jumpers).

This (if successful at cutting and restoring the board) will only get me a built-in serial port and the two controls (hardware reset and on/off).

Other parts and materials ordered, nearly everything for the final goal on-order (a couple of things not ordered yet - but they come from a warehouse less than 100 miles away).

I hate to think of the $$$ cost I am going to on this project.

I guess this project's supporting materials is going to be my only present this year.

Amazon and Lab126!

I wonder if I could get a "Beat Lab126 to death" project past the KickStarter review people?
