Someone could fab these however as a 2 sided pcb with only the SMBus signals for next to nothing in cost.
I looked into this yesterday.
The place I normally order prototype boards from (Olimex) don't stock any 1.2mm laminate.
The place I order production boards from (local fab) do have 1.2mm laminate but the minimum order they do is one full panel (about .5m2) - that means a big bag of boards. :)
If there's interest I'll be happy to make a DDR2 board that does high speed SPD<->USB.
I estimate they would go at $150 assembled or a bit cheaper as kits. (All SMD though.)
I need about 20 orders before starting it up, then roughly two months until they're shipping.
This is pretty special-purpose though. Perhaps time would be better spent on the LPC thingy, since they can be used for testing too.
