That means I need two different CPLD firmwares. One for backlit, one for not...

Maybe the next PCB i need to add a jumper to enable/disable the 9th MB. 

On my machine, that 9th MB will overlap ROM and she falls flat on its ass. lol.

I only ordered 5 PCBs on the first run to make sure I didnt have any hardware bugs. And I didnt, as I figured i wouldnt. I looked over that thing time and time again proofreading it. 

New PCB will have the jumper. I need to see if the fab house has solder paste stencils. that will make things so much easier and faster. I did my first board all by hand.
