Ähem you know who I am talking about...ACube, you know the company distributing OS4 classic and producing the SAM440 board. Do you really think they will have a guy sit down and solder the board by hand ?
I am not sure that ACube actually manufacture any hardware. I think they probably out source the production of hardware. But I could be wrong.
Either way it is not impossible that they too are getting boards hand soldered (if less than 200). At the end of the day the minimig boards are fairly simple to hand solder by today's standards. But ACube would have better component sourcing abilities (internal or external) than any hobbiest.
