The winner is: MicroProp (potatohead). MicroPropPC will be the product name.
Why? Well, I really like Propagator because it is double entendre and has Prop in it, but thing is I already have this web domain name www.MicroCSource.com (almost a year old now). The web site is not enabled yet, but this gives me another reason to do something with it.
There is brand identity between MicroCSource.com and the name. Also I expect to produce other MicroCSource boards such as MicroMegaPC, MicroAVR32PC, MicroPIC32PC, and of course MicroProp2PC.
The fact that MicroPropPC uses 2 Propellers is interesting, but for me is not something I want to highlight. Actually needing 2 Propellers to do the job does not cast the product in a very good light. Now if Propeller 1.5 was available, it would not be such a problem but I'd probably run out of COG cores anyway.
Here's a .png of the Rev A0 PCB. You'll notice I put the power plug and switch on the back. For all you decoupling cap fans, there are pads for tantalums and ceramic on the bottom of the board. The CR1220 mount is also on the bottom of the board below the external BAT3V header.
I wanted to say Thank You to everyone who participated in this tread.
There's a lot of creative juice on this forum! Cudo's to everyone.
@AntoineDoinel, the second SDRAM is only connected to the primary Propeller. The most recent VGA driver from potatohead and Baggers makes Propeller a much more lively video controller as long as 4 COG cores and lots of HUB is available.
