So I've finally got some free time and now I'm all over making some clones of my Mark-8 boards for my own experimentation. I tackled the CPU board first and have posted about it on my blog here:

I have been in touch with Grant Stockly about getting my boards scanned by Mile High so he can take the resulting files and produce some high quality kits. That will likely happen eventually -- I'm not planning on making kits myself as they would be positively amateurish next to anything Grant did. Not to mention time. I just have to get over my fear of putting the originals back into the hands of shipping companies after they nearly lost them last time.
Anyway, here's my own method. My double sided PCB stock arrives Wednesday so I'll post how it turns out.
I'm not that familiar with making double-sided PCBs, but I'm thinking what I'd want to do is iron the first side, drill a few holes at random places on the IC pads that then have to line up with the other side? Hmm...
