Jeff, I have the same issue... I pack everything away with the idea that it's still useful, I will use it some day. Of course, in reality, I probably reuse 1% of what I pack away... But every now and then, I come across a project where I'm really happy I had that part in stock.
I recently bought a TL 866CS eprom programmer and IC tester. I have only used it a couple of times to program. But it's very neat to think it can test the IC's too.
How were those mis-labeld IC's? I heard China relabels some chips to scam people.

Josh,
Thank you for the updates! I will send some pics when I am into the build. Due to my habit of extreme pack-rat-ism I only need to order a few parts, like the SD card socket, the crystal, the resistor networks, the HCT245 and the LS390. The years of accumulating parts from hamfests is starting to pay off. :) BTW, I also bought an IC tester so I check every TTL chip for functionality before I put it a board. I have found a few bad chips this way & even a few mis-labeled chips.
Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
1. Oops... ECO#3 should be "RP2". RP3 remains as is (a 9 pin 4.7K SIP). I will fix this shortly and upload a Rev 3 Manual.
2. I'll look at the BOM and correct. It indeed should be a 74LS390 as listed in the BOM of the manual.
3. Mouser p/n 520-HCA1843-20X (Mfg P/N: ECS-184-20-1X)
Please send pics when you can.
Cheers,
Josh

Josh/Don,
I was gathering parts for my build & I have some questions about possible errors with the BOM for the 8080 CPU board.
1) I see that RP2 is now listed as a 47K network (was formerly a 4.7K network) but I did not see that change documented anywhere. I realize that the value of RP3 changed as documented in ECO#3 but I found nothing about RP2.
2) IC E6 is now listed as a 74LS90 in the BOM but it is a 74LS390 in the schematic, in the original parts list in the manual & on the board silkscreen. The LS390 is a dual counter an is a 16 pin dip while the LS90 is a single counter in a 14 pin dip.
3) I didn't see the recommended crystal X1 (18.432mhz) is not listed in either the original parts list or the updated BOM. I was just going to pick the one that Mouser has in stock.
Thanks for all you are both doing for this project. I am look forward to this build as well as as the Mini-FP board.
Regards,
Jeff Galinat

Hi Don,
Sure. I wrote it into the Rev 2 Manual. I also updated your Bill-of-materials with the right values for RP2, but I missed adding it as an ECO there.
Cheers,
Josh
