I output it from Pulsonix as a PS file and converted it to a PDF:

It really needs the colours changing on the imported schematic to remove the
black areas, but you should be able to follow it.

I'm not sure if it really is compatible with the BBII, I'll try my BBMV
clone on the Cyclone first and see how I get on.

The drawback is that BBMV can't program EPCS devices....

Leon,

From memory it was a sea of transistors on both sides with an 8 pin
SOIC on one side.

Thanks, Nial. I think someone else mentioned something like that.
