Yeah, ok. I uploaded it. Enjoy:

PS: did anyone already receive their PCB from me? I shipped all, except the one for Vetz, who wants it shipped somewhere else. But so far I have no feedback on receiving of any PCB.

Not seen our two yet - but I assume you posted them later due to the pickup attempt.

Nice video again, will help me with my own Snark Barker!

Top quality! I also like the inclusion of the game footage&sound.

Video also reminded me that I forgot to order a pair of tweezers.

Ours arrived this afternoon. Let the fun begin 😀

And I finally received the SAA1099 shipment. Now only the bracket is missing.

SAA1099 installed, and fixed the volume control with a screw. Also installed the DSUB15 connector:

Amazing job.. cant wait to get my pcb 😁 Hopefully I dont ruin it with my shit soldering skills. Probably a good idea to do the adlib first 😀

Adlib clone is a good practice. I did a MUS1099 last week (comparable to the Adlib in complexity I think).

Some (amateur) tips from me:
- Watch some YouTube vids on through-hole soldering techniques
- Watch Root42's YouTube vids for some specific thoughts on the cards
- Take your time (The MUS1099 took me about 3-4 hours to build. If I were to build another one right now, it would probably take me 2 hours)
- Use a well lit workspace
- Sort the parts beforehand and try and familiarise yourself with them a bit
- Keep a printed out version of the BOM and maybe some more documents from the project around for reference
- Some proper side cutters (I got a Knipex 78 61 125) are nice to have
- I have a PCB holder (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01MRAEY6M). It helps a lot.

EDIT: most important: it should be a fun job 😀 Take your time and enjoy 😀

Seriously, that is a nice looking end product. Congrats to everyone involved in its creation.

This is right on, if I'm not having fun then I rush and do a crap job, so have learnt to pack it up and leave it for another day (or month)

Hello! For those who missed the first PCB run, ##yamahasynths on Freenode is arranging a second run of PCBs; the amount of PCBs is to be determined. The cost will probably be ~$10 USD plus S+H. To register to get your own board (and only the board- you must provide the other parts yourselves), sign up using this form.

Thanks root42, got mine in the mail 😀

Good to see. That is three delivered!

Via special delivery today:

I hope to start tomorrow evening, I have almost all parts here.

Thanks to Keropi I now have an original Creative DSP V2.02 (I think) to put on my Snark Barker. I think it will not change much, but it's nice to try out. I will also try to make an ISA bracket. Will make a new video once both things are finished and tested.

Are you sure it will be compatible with the DIL-40 pinout?

I have checked each pin using the 8051 datasheet and it checks out. I don't have a barker pcb but it uses the i8051 pinout, right?

Yes, it does.

I got my board last week. No idea when I will get time to order parts or build it though.

Damn i was too late for a PCB again
