I'll take 5 pieces at this price point but I would like to humbly
request for verilog/vhdl source code to be included with the hardware
and that if possible any unused GPIO pins on the CLPD device be routed
to an unpopulated pin header along with power and gnd so that the
boards may be repurposed and extended for other turbochannel
shenanigans.

Kind regards,
