Definitely pushing the limits of our old hardware! Great stuff. As to software incompatibilities I think if the ROM and TS-DOS timing loops were fixed that covers most of what we do.
One of these days I'd love to see a demo of it. Installing such a board myself seems unlikely. Just this week I found out how bad my soldering (or desoldering in this case) skills really are. I've been taking woodworking classes and one of my professors is really into 3d printing. I decided to give it a shot and bought a Comgrow "amazon return" used Ender 3 V2 for $109. It did have minor missing stuff, wrong adjustments which I fixed or worked around. The one remaining problem is a busted rotary encoder on the user interface screen. I worked around it by using Octopi to control the printer reflashed with Marlin firmware. For completeness I went for replacing the encoder, but it was really difficult and I ended up pulling up a trace and the via barrel too. Sigh. Oh well, octopi works fine. Better for me to focus on software and my other projects. I've already used the 3d printer to make some little things and parts I needed to complete old home projects so the 3d printing side quest is working out. -- John.
