resurrected XO-1.5, died again

I do not know for how long the toasted [1] XO-1.5 boards worked but my oven baked [2] board died again after 8 months of daily use and a guestimated 400+ hours. I do not know if this is long enough to justify the process (roughly half a school year worth, I would guess), but I thought to record

2013-07-01 Thread Tom Parker
