Hardware version 3 represents the move from breadboards (20 of them!) to a PCB.
Most everything is the same as in version 2, except for the following:
- Removal of the external control interface previously used for in-system flash programming via an Arduino.
This is made obsolete by ZIF-socketed flash chips that can be programmed directly (and faster, too!).
- Optimizations of Boolean control logic to reduce overall chip count.
