Looks good to me.

Ok, maybe something like:
Dual graphics heads
head 0: dual-link DVI-D port (digital only, up to 2560x1600)
s-video port (analog TV-out, up to AAAxBBB)
head 1: dual-link DVI-I port (digital and analog)
digital up to 2560x1600
330MHz RGB/VGA triple DAC (analog at least [EMAIL PROTECTED])

maybe:
Support for a user-added 100-pin connector (through-hole soldering required)
supplying 68 user I/O signals. [ and 32 grounds? ]
