Hi list,
Unfortunately I have had little feedback so far. But here's a small update.
I have finally received my SO8 memory modules and those babies are small. Because of this, I have replaced the SO8M footprint with an SO8W footprint, making it quite a bit wider, but should be much easier to manually solder. I tried for an hour to fit a 1008 footprint for the resistors but there would be hardly any room left for silkscreening. Also all the smd compontens that I have to salvage seem to be 0603 components anyway. I'm sure people will manage to solder 2 resistors.
I've also saw a screenshot of an Asus motherboard that had the bios chip right next to a Sata port, in the wrong/different orientation, so I've added a 3rd design so all 3 possible insertations are possible. (Left, center and right facing connector).
I've attached the gEDA .pcb file with the 3 orientation, with each having their individually nets/defs so that the DRC/rat check works. When sending out the final rev. I'll copy/paste the silk screens from the left design so they all look identical.
If I get no negative feedback, I'll try to send the boards out for manufacture next week, so in a month or two I should have about 40 PCB's and would be happy to send a few out to coreboot dev's, if there's any interest at all :)
