At first glance, the two versions of the "Neon Lite" (MCVVQ111 & rev0) appear to have exactly the same pinouts indicating that changes to the PLL filter may be internal only. When it comes to it I will meticulously work through these pin by pin to ensure this is so. Similarly for the ExpressPCB file which I did not use for my last PCBs and therefore I cannot guarantee and will not distribute until checked (my PCBs were produced from straight bmp files). The other side of this which has not been considered here is connectors for the display. Has anyone found suppliers for any of: "JST 20FLZ-RSM1-TB, or Hirose FH12-20S-0.5SH, or Molex AE-52892-2090 or Molex AE-52716-2090 or other equivalent connector"? Parallel to this I do hope Tekgear are able to come up with an offer on the RS170 OEM board for those who are sane enough not to want to roll their own!
