ATMEL Mega1284P evaluation board avalible

No, being in the US, I was thinking more like this, comparable design, less expensive.

Course if one had a bare board one could populate as desired. Take a frame and cut the middle span for example.

I like the look of these, just gets kind of pricey to use 40 - becomes a $6 socket!
