What the heck is a PCB
« on: December 20, 2005, 06:02:31 PM »
I'm looking at a cool "Transform your ATX PSU" into a power source for your A1200 site, and the term PCB comes up. I comes up a lot in other areas, and i'm drawing a blank as to what it means. Fill me in guys. :-?

Printed Circuit Board.
This is the (usually green, but also often brown or blue) board the components are soldered onto.

The motherboard in your Amiga is a PCB.

You mean ATLA or maybe YATLA?
Still, better those than a FLAb I guess (which both are, of course).
