Breakout board for Hydra connector - Hydra Expansion Cards for everyone!!

I have a couple Hydra Expansion Boards, however I don't have the Hydra. I got the boards because I wanted to experiment with the item and also to read the contents of the manuals (which are done very nicely!) The Hydra connector itself doesn't fit in breadboards and would potentially fit in protoboards, but not easily. Therefore I designed a breakout board for a connector that is found at Digi-Key. This breakout board allows for adding a connector to a project instead of soldering to the expansion cards or doing something drastic.
The connector for the breakout boards is here: parts.digikey.com/1/parts/158562-conn-cardedge-20pos-100-x-200-395-020-520-202.html
I attached pictures of the board and the connector. I am in a hotel room at the moment, so the lighting isn't great. I can't test fully the 13 or 14 of June because my stuff is being shipped to Singapore. However I am confident that the design is good as it is pin to pin and no fancy routing.
I have a handful of connectors and breakout boards. I can put some in the mail over the next couple weeks if anyone is interested. Eventually I will get this up on the Brilldea site, but for now I will offer it here through the forums.
For US$9.00 you can get a breakout board and the EDAC connector pictured (some assembly required). Shipping is via first class mail from Singapore and will be a flat fee of US$3.00 (order one, two or five, it is the same shipping fee). Let me know via PM if you are interested and I can forward payment info.

I am still considering a SpinStudio version, just need another weekend or two to catch up on Brilldea work. Because I am behind, I haven't created a web page for this device yet. I have plenty of more for sale, so if you are interested drop me a PM or an e-mail.
