the mendel90 printer is working really well, and was absolutely worth it to use for prototyping of casework. the 7in tablet project is now being done as an open hardware project, under the GPLv3+. files are available at http://hands.com/~lkcl/eoma/kde_tablet
with a preliminary casework finished that has been prepared in conjunction with the pcb layout, work can proceed to finalise the pcb and then send it off for assembly. there are a couple of risky areas on the tablet pcb, due to datasheets and app notes simply not being available: the usb audio and the usb camera IC. these are a CM108AH and a Vi Micro VC0345 respectively. perhaps prior to sending off this PCB it may be worthwhile tracking down small USB devices with those chipsets in, in order to inspect them and check their PCB layout.
however if anyone already _has_ a USB audio dongle with a CM108AH or a USB camera with a VC0345 chipset please do say so as i would greatly appreciate some hi-res photos of the PCB, both sides.
