>From my perspective, anything is a better option that what we have now:
nothing. My preference though, would be something like this: *

with all the additional stuff in the board, maybe only provision for crystal
but again that optional. Note this board is 64pin, we need 80 pin also, but
if you keep the same layout and make it larger, the advantage is you have
only two rows of parallel pins that can be easily integrated in a solderless
breadboard. Doing double DIP40 pins or using the 4 edges makes imposible to
integrate in a solderless breadboard.
