I have updated board to rev D due to the oscillator I used on rev B being long lead time. Make sure you use BOM for the board revision you have.
Note: The programmed ATTINY chips I shipped with SA1000 rev D boards before October 17 2021 are programmed for use with 18.432 MHz Crystal. I used Abracon ABL-18.432MHZ-B2. Purchase that crystal instead of the 9.216 MHz on the BOM. Since the 20 MHz ATTINY45 are out of stock I switched to the lower frequency that will work with the 10 MHz parts available. I will ship future programmed ATTINY45 programmed for the 9.216 MHz crystal.
Arduino sketch for board. If you are using the 18.432 MHz crystal you will need to edit the loop_count_pll value as commented. The comments at the top are my notes on programming. I can provide a programmed part with board.

The oscillator is out of stock and likely to be for a number of months. I
use an Arduino beatle
The SA1000 manual says it wants a 271.250 kHz +- 0.1% clock. Theoretically
this could be programmed to 0.02% of the desired frequency. The one I bought
was 0.16% off. It likely has a ceramic resonator thats not that accurate.
The clock is used for up to speed detection and step rate control so 0.16%
should be close enough. It worked fine with my drive. Don't know how far
off other boards will be. Arduino sketch for board
I used some tape to make sure it didn't short to the connector pins and some hot melt under to to keep in in place and above the component pins. You can see the three connections it needs.

If using the short connectors for P7 & P11 in the BOM R3 and R4 will need to be installed on the opposite side of the board from how the silkscreen indicates for the unlabled revision of the board. The silkscreen was corrected for rev B
X1 pin 1 is in the upper left. On the sikscreen its in the upper right.
X1, U1, U3, C3-C5 only needed for reading Shugart drives which need external clock. Emulation for all drive or reading Quantum drives don't need the clock.
If you are only using the board for reading or only for emulation you can not install some of the connectors.
P5 is not needed.
