Re: Flash Boards

Hello, Brian!

I've been working on one, but I must admit that I've been stalled
on it due to other projects.  I've got some to most of the
schematics already done in Kicad.  It needs to be finished up,
the board routed, and the whole thing sent to a PCB manufacturer
(I've identified PCBExpress as the one I'd want to use - their
price for 20 - 9 square inch 4-layer boards runs $18.75/board
($375 total), but any suggestions would be welcome).  Also, if
we can keep the components to one side of the board, I can solder
the components on.  The big problem is going to be the initial
flash programming (see the message history on this board to get
up-to-speed on the logic behind it all).

I would welcome any help you could provide (or, if you want to
"take the bull by the horns", I would be happy to provide you
help ;) ).

Finally, thanks to an HP employee (he may be ex-HP now, I don't
remember his name), I have enough Jornada 72x motherboard/
daughterboard connectors to cover all of the people who have
expressed interest on this list with one board each.  I've also
discovered a possible source for more if we exhaust my "stash",
but we'd have to order a few and make sure they will work.

Regards,
