Does it work? Nope. That's next years problem. And as you can probably see by some of the board revision numbers I'm collecting a bit of a graveyard of failed attempts.
... and the thing I use to test each of the "DIP" boards; it's basically just a boatload of GPIO. I'm using network cables and sockets because they're cheap and make pretty good mechanical connections. It only tests for correctness, not performance.
Happy slightly early new year and enjoy poking around some of the crazy decision I've made
