Future H5 buyers & assembly

[me262]

Reporting in from the US with a blank board.

I wanted a challenge, but I might have bitten off more than I can chew.
I'll go through the BOM and start gearing up to assemble.
Oddly I voted for birdseed.

Has anyone found any problems with these boards yet? (EDIT, Not that I'm expecting any, but if I'm putting it all together I'd like to apply fixes, if any problems pop up.)

Also wondering, if we remove the BUS IO PORTs, and remove the socket for the memory (and move to a QFP), how small could we make this puppy?
It'd be really cool to shrink this down enough that we can put it alongside a Roland MT-32 external.

I can see it now, the Atari Exxos MegaMini ST!

I'm in the same situation with the motherboard, and wound up ordering an assembled version as well. I was going to order an assembled board anyway to make it easier to assemble. I was thinking birdseed. It's actually the sourcing parts that's intimidating, I have little luck with that.

Also, I was looking at the PI based MT-32 emulator i assembled a while back, thinking it would easily fit inside the case.

Reporting from the U.S.A. with a blank board and a birdseed board. Pretty cool.
