I'd say: Produce it as it is now. Forget about USB / IDE for the moment. The compact-flash implementation in place right now should be enough to 'act' as a harddrive. The cards have sufficient capacity and cost next to nothing (said that, the bytes/euro is way smaller than with IDE harddrive but hey, who needs 200GB of storage on a OCS/ECS Amiga?). If there really is a need for IDE/USB solutions will surface soon enough.
And I too like the idea to raise the PCB price a few euros and donate those euros at Dennis' bank-account. He deserves it.
