ok joe i've completed the routing, SATA was a bitch i had to put in about 4 sets of VIAs and use the POWER layer for a short duration around the SoC's BGA grid, but it's done. the big parallel groups, RGB/TTL, HDMI, Ethernet, NAND and SD/MMC all got subtly shuffled and shifted but mr xul has them all grouped veery neatly together, so i have confidence that those subtle shifts would have added roughly the same length to each.
btw i chickened out of adding a RESET/POWER line by taking over one of the 5V lines - i feel it's too complicated to put in right now.
i'm happy for someone else to check this over - i will upload it for ftp download, can you let your friend know? also i will contact the PCB factory we have been using, their guy patrick is extremely competent, he has been helping do verification of the PCBs we have been doing and he has helped pick up errors in the past.
Upload the gerbers and schematic and point. I download, check and get a cost. The 2GB RAM is a winner. (It will need a new script.fex to get it going I assume?)
