My first community post! To everyone who has been watching my "Building a brand new Macintosh Classic" videos, I made some important discoveries. I have found a couple of design faults on the board. No criticism to Kai, this is just part of the fun of prototyping!
There were a few pads that were a little large, and were touching a trace they shouldn't be touching, causing a significant short on the board. I also found some vias that weren't meant to be vias, creating another short on the +5V and the -12V rails. I have "fixed" these, and am now getting power to the CPU (and other ICs) but still no chime or display.
