In the gEDA PCB tool, vias are covered with mask by default, and you
have to explicitly uncover them. I've been doing
# Back solder mask
1. Why aren't there keepouts on the solder mask for the vias on U9?
that's sort of strange.
OK, I need to get real work done now :) If you do a design rev, let me
know, and I'll re-look at the board.
OH: to be explicit, I haven't looked at the schematic very hard. We
reviewed
It looks pretty darn good. I mostly have nitpicky details that I think
you should not change until the next board rev. There are a few details
I think you do need to change, they're marked with **WARNING**.

1. You put all your components on one side. This is usually a very good
thing

I checked the first batch of files sent out under this subject, didn't

Quoting Bdale Garbee :
ARGH! Yes. Thank you for spotting that.
No problem...
About 2.2 nC at our operating point.

I don't think it's necessary. But after talking to Keith, we'll add
the footprints. We've got the space and I've got to rework that part
of the board to fix the D/S swa
