Pretty Easy, I've been doing the Adafruit Raspberry Pi case for visitors 
and colleagues ever since it was released under a CC license.

Yeah, this is the same laser cutter with which Cory Doctorow didn't 
believe us when we said it could play Music.

I appreciate the offer Luke, but I my project ideas and interests focus 
more on what to build around the EOMA-68 standard then about the cards 
themselves. To that end one of the closer to production A20 cards would 
be more suitable as I would know I'm dealing with bugs for the final 
platform instead of difference between the A10 and A20. So if one of the 
folks that has an A20 card sitting in their drawer would like to arrange 
something with me, I'd be happy to discuss that off list.

Otherwise, I'll wait for the next batch.
