3. Power

I'll probably add to this section. I've read up a lot on power on the various build tips, so am aware that this has caused people issues. No power issues at present, but I've built up a chunky power connector from 18 AWG wire connected to the screw terminal mount (two strands of each).

Power connector

My plan is to run a power bus down the middle of the computer, in parallel with the data bus, using a couple of spare detached breadboard power lines and then have the power branch out to each side of the computer.
