From: "David Griffith":
I'd be interested in a system that used the CF
connectors to be the edge
card connectors. they should be cheap, and would hit the form factor well.
Both sexes are available so you could integrate the backplane with the
connectors prewired on a big pc board, and make gobs of the little flip chips
to plug in.
I'd be interested in a tiny front panel with SMT LED's but don't know what
you'd get for the front panel switches.

Whatever happened to that idea of building
mini-flipchips with
surface-mount parts?
