Interest withdrawn. I got impatient and ordered some boards myself using the CAD files on GitHub. One thing for buyers to note is that this board still gets in the way of the Kickstart ROM/ROM switcher on an A500 Rev. 5 board, so it didn't actually work as I had hoped. So I now have 5 boards (one assembled) that won't work in my machine. If anyone needs one, PM me and I may be convinced to part with one or more of them, but of course if SukkoPera decides to sell them again go to him first.
 
No problem, feel free to sell your excess boards as long as you do so at a fair price. Please consider making a donation to a charity of your choice otherwise.

I'm sorry the board doesn't do much on a Rev. 5 board. I tested it on Revs. 6A and 8A.1 and just assumed they would all be the same. I will investigate this (when I'm back from holidays) and add details on the project page.
 
Unfortunately I can't help you at the moment, please try to get in touch with grbrady.
 
I have finally researched a bit and added the following note on the project page:

The Kickstart ROM socket does not get obstructed on A500 mainboard revisions 6A and 8A.1, while on older revisions (3 and 5) it still gets in the way, so it is not recommended for use with them (although it still works perfectly).

So thanks grbrady for the heads up, and sorry again it didn't work for you :(.

Yes, revs 6A and 8A.1 are fully compatible.

I have pulled the trigger and ordered a new batch. It should be here next week, I will update the thread by then.
