From: Guy Sotomayor: Tuesday, March 29, 2016 8:27 PM These 3 wires were *really* short. Nothing I did found them until I came across a “trick” which is to zoom out so the board is tiny and then with the route tool active, just “click” on spot on the board. In short order I found all 3 remaining

I just finished laying out the board for the MEM11A. The last roadblock was figuring out where the last 3 unrouted wires were. EagleCAD didn’t make it easy to find them and I haven’t quite figured out how to use the autorouter on Eagle 7.5, so I did this all by “hand” (at just under 2000 wires

Just wanted to let folks know where the MEM11A (as opposed to the UMF11) is. All of the verilog code is written for the CPLD and I’ve simulated full unibus transactions to the FRAM and everything seems to work. I’m almost done with schematic entry. I just have a few things to clean up and veri
