My internal VDD weekend project is complete!

Changes/additions:

- Changed to a white display to correctly match the ADAM
- Modified circuitry to always have the display backlight on
- Reversed contrast (brightness) potentiometer to the other side of PCB for easy adjustment with new PCB placement
- Added micro SD to SD card spring loaded adapter (external access)
- Smooth action high quality SPST switches that don't make hard loud clicks (that really bothered me when scrolling through a long list)
- Custom made wiring harnesses (LCD, switches, active LED, and power)

Details:

Modified a dummy drive assembly to house the VDD. Used an old ADAM expansion cover to create a matching front panel assembly. The white display, switches, and active LED were all remotely relocated from the original VDD PCB. The dummy drive assembly top was notched and beveled for the SD card insert area as well as the VDD power switch.
