Its arrived!
I ended up ordering it from MicroZed. I was talking to the owner on Monday and he said he wasn't taking pre orders, but would update his web site as soon as they were in stock. On Tuesday, I noticed his wed site had changed to say he had stocks, so I phoned up and placed an order with my credit card. I noticed by this morning his web site was changed back to out of stock, so they sold out quick!
It arrived just after lunch.
Took about an hour to put together. Only complaint is the VGA connector pins are too close, I had to bend them out to fit the PCB holes.
And the first test run. Its currently powered off a USB cable from my PC. The monitor is an old monochrome 12inch VGA screen I've been lugging around for years, just waiting for a chance to use it. Today was its day.
Been playing around with some demo programs and some I've dug up from long ago. Its a fast little thing! Will post more in the next few days.
