Liked the vid, and i'm a BBC / Atari bloke. Why not do your PCB revisions in the colour code? Brown, red, orange, yellow, green etc, then you will know the revision by colour. I just thought of this, and its what I will do in future. Version one is always 'brown' anyway !

Nice idea, but the entire spectrum isn't necessarily available for solder mask colours (unless you go for UV overprinting. Plus some solder masks can be a lot more expensive than others. I tend to just go for "a cheap colour that I haven't used recently", lol

@TimsRetroCorner I've only ever done green, call me traditional. I guess some colours are more popular. Back to that little grid where you can see the layers and revision etched in. Would have been fun though.

Nice vid, shame about the TED 😢

Yeah, at first I thought maybe I'd done something really stupid, like pulling the cartridge out with the power on. But reviewing the footage, I didn't. It seems to have just given up :(
