Region Mod board wanted for Turbo Express

[thesteve]

you could have a cutout in the board that the 4001 sits top down in, or use the smaller 3383 chip and put both on one side

[thesteve]

the smaller package chip is about half the size and will easily fit both chips on one side

Ok I'll look into that!   This thing's gonna be so tiny lol.

[thesteve]

tiny is what we want.
space constraints have been the biggest install issues from what i have read.

There is plenty of room for a larger chip behind the battery tray, you just have to run longer wires to get to the hucard slot.  That's how I've done expresses in the past.  Heck you saw the pics of people installing 8PDT switches there before!    If we cant get a good tiny chip to work, then we might have to consider going with a larger (and more user friendly / pretty) chip that just mounts behind the battery tray.

we could also do a 2 part circuit usind the switch chip on one board and another board to control it.
make it one peice that snaps apart if needed.

boards are built, tested and for sale.
