Oh, when I was shown the solder bridge, I fixed it in the next 5 minutes. Sometimes I struggle because I have the iron, the hot air, etc... but I don't have good magnification yet. Im just getting back into soldering, etc...

When in doubt, take it outside and take high-resolution, in-focus photos of the joints in question, with the best light (but not glare) possible.

Even without "proper" magnification, you can usually use this technique to identify solder bridges at this scale/complexity.

Can ZuluIDE act as a DVD-drive replacement in a Windows 98 build?
If so, can it handle dual layer 8.5GB images?

It absolutely can, so long as the disc images remain in one of the formats that the ZuluIDE can read (ISO or BIN/CUE). It doesn't identify as a specific type of drive to the system other than an "optical drive" — so in Windows 98, it shouldn't have any problem reading disc images that large.

That's good news!
Thank you for the information.

Another question I have: Can this read from .iso files made from DVD discs, like UT2004 DVD, Windows 7, etc?

(Yes, I'm already aware it might have problems with DRM protections. That's outside the scope of the question.)

Edit: This question was already answered.

I Got one Zulu Control Board 5.25 but never got it to work. Do I need more then just one wire. On my ZuluIDE?

My educated guess for why you never got it to work is that you are running downrev firmware. Please contact us via e-mail, and we'd be happy to help you sort this out, one way or another.

Without knowing which version of the firmware is currently on your ZuluIDE RP2040, it's not possible to answer this question accurately. You can always download the latest ZuluIDE firmware release from https://github.com/ZuluIDE/ZuluIDE-firmware/releases/latest
