Adjusted The Display Card Holder

A project log for DEC Precision CRT Display Type 30 Reproduction

Obsolescence Guaranteed just released their new PiDP-1 Replica. While I wait for mine I thought I would make a 2:3 scale Type 30 Display.

When I designed the Display Card Holder as a way to mount the Display PCB and installed it, there were a couple of things that I was not completely happy with.  First of all I had the ribbon cable between the PCB and Display installed wrong so when I corrected it there was a twist in the cable. It still worked but it put unnecessary strain of the connections. The other thing was that the display as it was installed was upside down. Again not a big deal but it meant that I had to go into the Raspberry Pi settings every time I made a change and configure the screen to be inverted. So I redid the Display Card Holder to correct these issues.

I have updated the build files with these changes.
