As far as I heard (I'm total electronics dummy) assembling with BGA tech in home-environment is pretty hard to accomplish it well.. :)

Having hand built the first 8 of these (BGA was assembled by a rework house) even the other SMD components are not fun. There's something like 100+ caps etc.
In other news, apparently several thousand USD worth of Xilinx devices have arrived at the factory, which is a bit of a relief.

If we didn't get a reply does that mean we aren't on the list? I sent my mail on 15/05/2011. I guess you must get a LOT of mail

Hehe, no worries Mike - just deliberately giving you the gears.

Mainly interested in the full meal deal anyways with the daughterboard, since I want to use it to run my Amiga powered BBS and I need Ethernet.

I've just finished the layout for a PS/2 to USB converter.

This sits on the pads of the PS/2 connector on the main board and replaces the two PS2 ports with an external USBA port and an internal USB header. There is a small on board micro (VNC2) which handles the two USB ports and communicates over the same four FPGA pins the PS/2 connector used to use - but SPI this time.

This gives a low latency keyboard and mouse input.
This board can be fitted to any RevB board - I'll post some pictures soon.

I need to write the code first and make sure it works (I have an eval board to play with).
