I'm pondering making two types of P112 kits .
First there is the complete kit and then there would be a partial kit. The partial kit
contains the board, surface-mounts already mounted, and memory chips with boot rom already
burned in. How many of you would be interested in a partial kit rather than a complete
kit? I'm not sure of the prices yet.
The P112 looks pretty interesting. I'd consider a partial kit depending on the price.
While I have successfully soldered one SMT part (the FTDI chip on the X0xb0x board), it
wasn't fun and I would probably like to try to avoid having to do it again. I think I
just lucked out that I didn't fry the chip. I bridged a number of pins and had to
clean up with solder wick.
