Ah, but to be a mistake-for-mistake copy of the initial version of PCBMan's
effort is a different matter. I agree that a wholly independent development
of a SER-001-like board just might end up with all the holes/connectors in
the same places and quite possibly even the same components in the same
*logic* (vs. physical) layout. But to duplicate bugs that have since been
fixed, bugs that are known to be present in the sample that Ferdi is known
to possess, that just strains belief too far.
