Luke & Christopher, I am one of the engineering-board-without-CPU-card
folks. I picked up a couple because the price was more than fair. I
inadvertently missed the CPU card window, but I figure, worst case, I'll
pick some up out of the next batch. I am well aware of what I'm getting,
and what I'm not with the micro board.

Might I make a suggestion? Perhaps we should change the name to one you
mentioned previously.... ie , "I/O Interface Board", or something to that
effect.

The EOMA-68 A20 CPU Cards area already "Micro" in regards to most computing
size standards, and they are currently in "Engineering Sample" status. So I
can see how there might be confusion.

Of course. Although, I will say, of the 6 on the list, I have personally
communicated with 4 of them already and have discussed the differences.
However, I will ensure any future individuals interested in the
Micro-Engineering Boards are fully informed on the product they are wishing
to purchase. Also, of the people who have ordered Micro Engineering Boards,
only 3 of them ordered without owning a CPU Card, and they were buying them
in preparation for the next batch of CPU CARDS.

To Everyone who might be interested in ordering a EOMA-68 Micro Engineering
Board, and to everyone who HAS ordered one.

THIS is the EOMA-68 Micro-Engineering Board that I have been personally
manufacturing and assembling:

THIS is the EOMA-68 A20 CPU Card that you INSERT into the EOMA-68
MicroEngineering Board (MEB .... so tired of typing it out) to allow you to
fully use the integrated I/O's of the Allwinner A20 CPU (and future
subsequent CPU CARDS):

IF There are ANY questions, PLEASE ask Luke or Myself and we will do our
best to answer them as best we can.
