    Default CPU

    Do you remember when they used to look a bit like this?

    nice drawing, no shading problems there

    Thoroughly excellent likeness, though one of the corners should be missing a pin.

    To add to what Ben has said, the corner with the missing pin should also be flattened. See attached image.

    Thanks Bill and Ben (and everyone else for their kind comments).

    I agree about the flattened corner but cannot agree with the missing pin (please see the 2 small pics attached).

    So, I have taken your advice and rounded the other corners off and left the top right corner flat

    Thank for the input guys.

    Thaks also, Steve. You posted while I was busy with this post!
