Sorry for arriving late....

I bought a FE3 kit but never assembled it. Here is the board scan:

Ignore the "r3" that's a typo. The board is Rev 9.

Nice, did you choose any particular DPI for the scans?

I think most of the chosen parts were to keep the cartridge in the "DIY kit" kind. Probably designing the board to be factory built with most, if not all, SMD components, will make it even cheaper... but then you'll probably need to find a 1000 buyers. I somehow like the old school look of the board. I recently bought a similar card for MSX computer built with SMD components that look like islands in a green sea. It was twice the price and works like a charm, but looks a little "alien" plugged in the cartridge slot of the MSX.
It is much more affordable than you think to have these things completely assembled at the fab.
