Today I wired up the control panel for the router. Found a decent set of key caps and repalced one faulty switch.
Then I worked out arrangments for the ribbon cables that connect the PLD module to the panel and the router. With luck the PLD module will arrive this week. I've started on the VHDL for it. Shouldn't be too complicated.
Need to make up the adaptor ribbon cable that goes from the router to a 20 pin ribbon cable plug. Also a short D15 to D15 cable to link the audio and video routers. That should complete the construction phase. Then it's debugging the controller - editing VHDL is easier than rewiring chips - and finding a suitable date to install it at the Musuem.
