Weyoun 1 was a direct clone, reverse-engineered from a Micro-SCI board. It was cross-checked with a Franklin-branded board, as well as the (belatedly discovered) official Franklin schematic (included in doc/service_and_schematics.pdf)
Weyoun 2 had the following enhancements over the original design:
* the 2708 EPROM has been replaced with a more-common 2716/2732 EPROM
* decoupling capacitors have been added

Weyoun 3 has the following enhancements over Weyoun 2:
* a 74LS245 octal buffer has been added to the data bus, to facilitate the use of a no-slot clock under the firmware EPROM
* the EPROM has been changed from 2716/2732 to 2764/27128/27256 to allow a no-slot clock to be placed in the socket without modification

## Construction notes
* J3 can be omitted if this controller is used with a FloppyEmu
* All discrete logic ICs (except U15, the 74LS373) can be CMOS (74ACT, 74HCT). As is unfortunately usual with the Apple ][, U15 must be LS due to timing issues.
* if CMOS logic is used, then Q1/R6/R7 can be omitted -- the entire logic array can remain powered up at all times. Connect pads 1 and 3 on the Q1 footprint.
* The second floppy drive header (J3) can be omitted if this controller is used exclusively with a FloppyEmu. Populate R11 and connect pins 1 and 2 on J7.
* All discrete logic ICs (except U19, the 74LS245) should be CMOS (74ACT, 74HCT). As is unfortunately usual with the Apple ][, U15 must be LS due to timing issues.
