ok thank you to two sponsors, we have enough to pay outright for the micro-desktop 1st prototype and part-way for the revised eoma68-a20 cpu card. one final check of the revised cpu card is needed (as well as waiting a little bit for some extra money) then it will be off to get the PCB checked and done etc. if anyone wants to take a punt on that they are more than welcome, i am planning to do just 5 but if anyone is happy to pay say.... $175 then you can have an early CPU Card with either 1gb or 2gb of RAM, it is your choice (and risk!). i will be getting 2 with 1gbyte and 3 with 2gbyte RAM done.
