The FUMP: First prototype board finished!

Because Conrad Electronic Bremen didn't have any HC08s in their store, I had to use an HC32 and an HC04 from my "litterbox". They are working quite okay, but the maximum delay of 500ns doesn't really satisfy me. Furthermore, the crystal didn't want to oscillate, so I used one of the HC04's Inverters for an oscillator. I hope it is not because I fried the VS1001...
On the top you can see the 2 voltage regulators, 3V0 for digital, 3V3 for analog. Having tested my board on a PC's parallel port, I was already able to hear some snapping sounds while resetting the chip. More tests are still to come (only a matter of software...)
