We have revised the Handy Board Expansion Board Kit documentation to refer
to the information on the Handy Board website.

Tom Brusehaver is correct in his post that the J11 flex cable connector is
not included in the kit as it is supplied with the Polaroid 6500 Sonar
Imaging System. J7 however, is not a part. J7 refers simply to an open hole
on the PCB that requires no part.

The Handy Board Expansion Board Kit (and Handy Boards and Serial/Interface
Boards) are available from:

Douglas Electronics, Inc.

Thank you,

RP1 & RP2: The both have a dot indicating an origin, the
RP1 (1KX4 8 pin sipp) doesn't matter about the origin.
The RP2 (10X5 6 pin sipp) the origin must be connected to
5V, so looking at the drawing on:
(<http://lcs.www.media.mit.edu:80/groups/el/projects/hand
y-board/hbexp30/>) the dot should be on the right side.

The male connectors for mating to the HB: Plug them into
the HB, and tack solder them. Only taks solder them (1 or
2 pins per header), the HB doens't need anymore heat. The
pins need to line up, and if they are lined up before
soldering they will be more lined up after soldering. The
pins are longer than the sockets, so they won't go all
the way in. This is ok (and good).

J7 & J11: don't come with the kit. J11 probably will come
with the polaroid kit.
