The most they would be likley to do would be to stop soldering the
header for the IDE onto the board - I doubt they would respin the
board itself. However this would actually be very helpfull, as the
pins on the header are all left-right swapped from standard. If they
omit the header to stop adaptations, then we could just solder in a
header on the bottom of the baord and take the connections in the
right order out through a slot milled (had to get some machining
content) in the bottom of the case. External 3.5" HD at the cost of a
power supply, or run it back inside to a 2.5" internal one.
