There are 10 interconections connections between the two RAM chips, the two (at present) PICs and the D to A converter.Apart from SLK and CS(both underscore) D0 to D7 you need to hook up between chips( eight seperate connections) All you need to do is connect all the D0's together and carry on up to D7. The remaining two connections SLK and CS(both underscore) only go between the two PICs and the RAM chips. Andrews notation is a standard method of simplifying schematic diagrams.
Hope this helps.

That right. Just connect the signal like to like and you will be OK.
This is why there are so many green wires under my board. If you look at Steves MK1 these interconnection cable are routed on the component side.Perhaps I should have done the same.
Anyway, I have plenty of time as the UK is in a complete lockdown and the dog can only take so many walks.
It always a comprimise between functionality and neatness.

Done a bit of research, the VIS code will completely screw things up in terms of frame timing, maybe, and maybe once the VIS code has passed the line sync works, but that still makes the whole thing useless if it can't be properly framed. I'm gonna pause and contemplate how to proceed.
I wonder how much 7.2/8s SSTV with VIS code is around?....if any? In addition the VIS code uses a tone below the usual 1200Hz, that is 1100Hz, it's no big deal but it needs consideration. Also the entire VIS code takes 910ms (0.910 seconds), around 15 lines!
