Maybe you could try and get Jens from Individual Computers involved. Maybe he could get Andrew, the Australian guy from Phoenix, to let him produce the PCBs using the Phoenix original layouts. Afterall, Jens has got a Buddah version for the Phoenix in his store. And he has the machines to get it done.
The thing is... right now not a lot of people is willing to take the risk of investing a load of money without getting it back. So... probably another idea is to try and get a couple of dealers to join in as well. Getting a long list of paid-for pre-orders would help as well ;-)
