In addition to the XXXX on the silkscreen, I think I have found an error.· The power connection in the pair of holes to the right of the six WRB holes is connected to the R holes.· But the ground hole in the pair of holes is NOT connected to the B holes.

If this product is designed to mainly be used with the Propeller Protoboard, it would be nice if the silkscreen showed where the Prop I/O pins are.

    If I understand you correctly, you're talking about the three sets two holes near the parallax logo? I don't think those are a V/GND pair. I think it's meant for a header and a jumper, so that you can optionally make each of the four sets of 6 servo connections powered independently or in parallel. Note that the ground (B) holes are all connected to the board ground, which is the same for the entire board.

    The XXXXX is because these boards are a test run, and so they didn't have a product number for them (yet, or ever: I'm not sure if these are going to be produced). In any case, that was the reason Ken gave for not being able to sell them.
