[Coco] Kipper SBC v1 Update

[Kip Koon]

Hi Guys,

Here's a quick update to let you all know what is currently happening with
the Kipper SBC v1.  10 prototype PCBs are on order from the fabrication
house overseas and should arrive in time to be brought to the CoCoFEST.  I
have parts on order which I'm hoping to get here before I leave for the
CoCoFEST which I'm planning to be on Wednesday for a leisurely trip or
Thursday for a bit more hurried trip up to Lombard, IL depending on what
days all the parts arrive.  Two signal errors in the PCB design did not get
caught in time before the design files were sent to the fabrication house so
a few fixes will need be made.  I have parts coming from three different
directions - two orders from the US and one order from China.  If all goes
well, I'm hoping to get at least some of the boards soldered up at the
CoCoFEST.  If anyone wishes to help put these boards together, both Jim
Brain and I will be working Friday night and or Saturday.  You are welcome
to attend our little building party.  

I am planning on arriving at Heron Point Inn sometime Friday.  I hope to see
as many people as possible that I have been communicating with over the last
4 - 5 years in person for the first time.  I'm really looking forward to
this exciting trip.  I will be bringing many projects I've been working on
as well as one of my brothers to keep me awake while I drive!  :)  Everyone
have a safe trip and have a Happy CoCoFEST!
