 yes.  i know.  you have to make it, using kicad.  please see the
screenshot here:

 http://hands.com/~lkcl/kicad_scrn.png

* first run kicad
* then click "PCB New (Editor)"
* then click the button marked in purple.

then, you download this PDF:

 http://hands.com/~lkcl/eoma/allwinner/MI209(dwg)%20PCMCIA68F0.3%20%20Model%20(1).pdf

then, you open it up in large format, and, looking in the bottom left
corner, you see a rectangle with 68 small rectangles ("pads") in it?
in the Kicad "Module" Editor, you make that rectangle and you make 68
small "pads", numbered 1 to 68.

 if this sounds very very strange, it is *not*.  it is *standard
practice* in PCB CAD/CAM industry to do this - to create your *own*
Components directly from the Datasheets.
