Yep, another product announcement by me 
I am attaching a bunch of photo's below - bare PCB, PCB populated for use as a "base"/"mother" board, PCB populated to be used as a "smart I/O" board for Morpheus. It can communicate with Morpheus through EXP1. (Sorry EXP1 and EXP2 are labeled in the wrong order!)
Propteus is based on the standard 4"x3.05" Parallax Protoboard format, and has the following features:
Propeller base circuit:
- PropPlug compatible headers, extra pins possible for Vcc, SCL, SDA
- EEPROM support
- P8X32 dip support
- support for FOUR decoupling capacitors for the propeller - two on either side. Saphiea recommends 33uF tantalum and 100nF ceramic on each side for maximum overclocking potential.
- designed to easily support Sigma-Delta, can cut top trace to second user pad for very short leads
- optional RESET/user switch
Expansion headers:
- MORPHBUS connector support - or can be used for 2xN headers
- can be stacked on Morpheus, Propeller ProtoBoard, SX boards, Stamp boards
- can be "base" board for another Propteus, Proteus, Mem+, Morpheus
- two ProtoBoard / Morpheus / SpinStudio compatible ten pin expansion headers
- expansion headers can be left unconnected, directly connected to P0-P7, P8-P15, or connected via current limiting resistors
- optionally the EXP1/EXP2 connectors can be driven by other circuitry on the large prototyping area
- supports extra 1x12 header on bottom left
- supports 12 servo headers on top right
Support for Four user LED's, Power LED, all with current limiting resistors
Support for 3.3V regulator circuit, power switch, capacitors, protection diode
Can be powered from MORPHBUS
Can provide power to MORPHBUS boards stacked on top of it
Can be wired to provide 1000uF capacitor and 1uH induction for better external servo power
Large prototyping area designed for better 0.3" and 0.6" support
Special zig-zag Vcc/GND bus, within 0.1"-0.145" from any bus
Available now.
Bare PCB only $12.95 USD, bare PCB with two short 1x10F, one short 2x20F, one 1x7M connector $14.95 USD, or $17.95 USD with stacking female connectors
Prices do not include shipping and handling.

I also added product pages for my Proteus and SOJ36DIP32 boards.
Now I'm going to go back to working on more Morpheus drivers...
