Not necessarily backpedaling, I was told two were received.
I just have this bad habit (probably from my business training) of always adding qualifiers.

Yes, that does make a difference, doesn't it?

Since the Soc is only part of the board pricing equation, and a T2080 is only about $150 more than a P1022...

As to 'only' having the schematics, hey, I'm actually surprised it got that far. And as to chassis, that does complicate board layout, but a specific chassis was discussed awhile ago.

If I could have dragged Bill Buck into this, sourcing a chasis might be easier. After all, he used to make laptops and even had prototypes of a low cost model made by a Mexican firm ATTO. If new C64 and Amiga cases can be made, a laptop case is only a bit more complicated.
