P2 Core Module

As part of a revised PLC type device, planning on using something tentatively called the "P2 Core Module". This is a 1.6" square with just the P2, bypass caps, and local regulators for VIO (one for each group of 8 P2 I/O pins).
So, there's not much to it, but it should allow easy access to high speed P2 on a regular 2-layer PCB.
So, could be good economically...
Should be able to be attached to main board either by either 0.05" headers (20 pins to a side), or directly soldered to PCB.
In any case probably want a cut out under the P2 for thermal reasons (if overclocking a lot).
Also, sometimes solder does weep through under the P2 and make a bump on the back side, so cut out maybe necessary if soldering directly to pcb...

I'm suddenly a big fan of OshPark for PCBs. Think going to order this thing today...
Really like that it can directly accept Eagle PCB files and figure everything out.
This is the first web thing that actually works fully with my Eagle pcb designs...
Plus, price and speed are great.
Purple is the only problem...
