I'm still here. I've just been distracted with a new addition to the family and getting use to no sleep again...
These SX48 DIP modules are available now and I know at least a few folks on this forum have had excellent results using this kit as an introduction to surface mount parts. For $29.95 (plus shipping) you get the full deluxe kit with all the parts to build the module including an onboard MAX232, a 20Mhz resonator (optional to plug into the socket), and an EEPROM. For those that just want a nice compact way to mount your SX48 chip the blank boards available for $7.95 each (plus shipping). The PCB is RoHS compliant, blue solder mask, and silkscreened on both sides for easy placement of parts.
Complete assembly instructions and schematics are included with each kit. These modules are very handy to have around and i've been using them with all sorts of projects (mostly in SX/B at the moment). Ports B, C, D, and E are brought out directly to the sides of the module and are clearly marked. The four I/O lines of port A are reserved for the Serial port (via MAX232) and EEPROM but can be used for other purposes if you leave off those parts.
If you'd like one of these just send me a PM or an e-mail at: rdoerr@bizserve.com

I bought a couple of the ones RobotWorkshop did. See: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=654295
I haven't seen him in awhile. Send him a e-mail.
They are high quality with great docs.
There were some other also. Maybe they will chime in. I think Gunther had one in the works, or was it someone else?
HTH, Chris
