d-oh..
well I put the two RAM chips close to IDC, if that's wrong space I'll bin the whole damn thing.

where to put two larger capacitors (10uF)? according to photo they are soldered in a very 'unconventional' way. but my PCB has no space for soldering it that way. so should I just scrape off the lacquer insulation?

man, soldering the two RAM chips was tedious. I must have been doing it wrong way. hopefully intense heat hasn't destroyed them. I also "lifted" one track

I know that some vga cards have sockets. but they all seem to use 40pin (and we need 42pin here)

I also presumed idc is for programming, I mentioned it just to help identify ram chips.
