Good progress on the cooking. Currently 79°C inside. There is hope I'll be able to finish and cool them down to try them this evening in a nice piadina.

Ok, while the meat cooks, time for a morning coffee and then back crosschecking the Wink security module.
These are two pork cup chunks, differently marinated and flavoured, and will be used as cold cuts once cooked

Socketin'!
Pity it seems I'm all out of good quality turned pin sockets for the 40P and the narrow 28P.
I'll have to order them from Mouser at the end of the month.
I already have a basket ready with other projects.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.
Bought 1.78mm pitch instead of 2.54.
How frustrating.

@npub1a72…ze5k I will have to really order spares. I'm now left with just two Z80s in this annoying package.

@npub1a72…ze5k that is great, I need to adopt this improvement.

Now, for the benefit of all, I want to share this infallible technique I use to find components in my mess of a storage.
It's done in. Few easy steps:
1. You recognize you need a component
2. You remember you bought it previously, with a few extras just for cases like this
3. You think about where those could be, this for a few hours
4. You get frustrated
5. You buy some more online
6. When you confirm the payment, you remember where you put the old ones

This... Might be a good reason for this board not to start.

I don't know why I'm doing this. Probably this board has other issues and this is all for nothing.
And yet, here I am, soldering INSIDE a chip.
Tomorrow or Monday I'll tackle the other 8 missing pins. Too tired now.

Some of the things I brought home from today's #fleamarket:
A stack of #manuals from #motorola!

@npub1qk5…jlda cats are the real haunting

I found out why I often find the cheese grater on the floor. I was able to sneak into the kitchen while I heard the noise. Benny is a deaf #cat, so he did not notice me until the end.
I'll have to wash it and put it away as soon as I use it I guess.
