For all of those people that had a little confidence in me by purchasing
those faulty 87x proto boards, sight unseen, it appears that users are
getting the solder mask off the edge connectors very easily and tinning
them OK.

The DT106SMP boards have now been proven to the point of being able to
be programmed (P16PRO and DT001) as a SimmStick from the edge connector,
and using the 10 pin header for programming. The LCD bus has been
written to OK (PICBasic PRO), so they are looking fine. (well apart from
that solder mask problem)

Still hundreds left, however there will be an end to them shortly.

There will be a new board very soon. Final design will be checked out at
our "Beer Night" this friday.
(No wonder we got it wrong, it's all that damn beer) :-)
