On the other hand, this comes from a guy who sells little interfaces
that allow one to use SD cards on a 20+ year old machine. My theory is
that people are averse to solder nowadays, and these boards mitigate the

I never could see the point to those. It's much easier just build up

of the XMegas, it might make some sense in helping to deal with
handling an SMT package, sort of the way the ARM stamps do.
