[Coco] Coco flash cartridge - final PCB!?!

OK, I'm happy with the PCB - I've added the mounting holes to the printout.

Unfortunately, I don't think a 16K/32K switch is do-able at this late stage 
- I wish I'd planned for it earlier... I _could_ do a hack that used 2 poles 
on the dipswitch but it's not very nice and incorrect settings would cause 
problems...

It looks like we're going to try and put together the panel tomorrow and 
send it off - until then I'm not sure how many I'll be making... when I get 
the board back I'll build up a bare-minimum EPROM version and a fully-loaded 
FLASH version for testing.

BTW what are the 'must have' cartridges - for testing purposes of course! 
The only ones I'm really familiar with on my list are DOD, EDTASM+, popcorn, 
canyon climber, mega-bug, clown & balloons, galactic attack and polaris. 
I've never played Demon Attack, but that looks good?!? And is Thexder a 
16/32K cartridge, or does it have extra hardware?

Regards,
