: ok.  the specification's going to have to change.  we cannot modify
:the CPU Card, so the spec has to be changed to match the card.  what a
:pain.

Even more pain - the $16  5" 800x480 displays have in the last 3 days ALL been cleaned out of
ALL Aliexpress stores. They are now between $30 and $45 - more than the price of 7" tablets!!!.
The ones that appear to cost $20 odd are the low resolution 480x272 5" that look similar
and/or don't have the touch sensor fitted.

Sheesh!!

These displays are worth less than $14 from factories.

(If enough people wants to join in, we can join orders into
a bulk purchase with help from my friends in CN.
After bulk purchase to get good price, they can 
dispatch to different addresses from their warehouse.)

I am also going to switch to getting the 7" size working
- a lot harder to empty the shelves of that any time soon! :)
And then put some KDE plasma on it :) :)
