Ang: Re: [sdiy] oxford OSCar: anyone familiar with these?

[Gavin & Delia]

about this cut trace for the MIDI version... Is that only for the first MIDI
OSCar?  The one I have is an OM2.  I found that the trace to pin 17 of that
IC was intact and cut it.  It began behaving strangely... "Half working" 
and went back to normal when I restored the trace.
Also I"ve looked quite deep into OSC2 and found no data lines at all coming
out of IC19.  Which leads me to wonder if it is absent due to programming
rather than component failure.
weird.
More later
