issue with 5490 perfboard setup

wow, you can hardly even see that thing! i'll have to pick up some surface mount stuff at some point.. i'm thinking it's quite a bit cheaper too

i had a few .1uf ceramic caps laying around and i did manage to fit them on the board, there's quite a bit more space there than i was thinking.

i've been kind of surprised i haven't come across more .1uf caps in all the 90's electronics i've .. er.. harvested.. but it makes more sense if they are using the surface mounts, i probably just torched them. have to start saving those!
