SECTION 3
BOARD ASSEMBLY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
If you have purchased the JADE DOUBLE D Disk Controller as a
kit, we strongly urge you to read this section in its entirety
before attempting to assemble the board. This board is intended
for those people who have had some prior experience with digital
electronics and circuit board assembly. If you do not, it is
highly recommended that you find an experienced person to help
you with the assembly of this board.
Although there are about as many ways of assembling a board
as the number of components factorial, if you will follow the
assembly instructions STEP-BY-STEP, construction will be easier
for you and much more pleasurable for both of us. It will help
to mark the boxes as you complete each step.
Make sure you have the tools you will need to assemble this
kit. For this board you will need the following: a soldering
iron (25 watts maximum), ROSIN CORE solder (preferably 63/37),
diagonal cutters, a small magnifying glass, a screwdriver, a
lead former or a pair of needle-nose pliers, and a small tube of
heat sink compound.
