[sdiy] dsPIC fun board

[Tom Wiltshire]

People who want extra RAM and an audio codec would probably be better  
off with Seb Francis's Digi-Mod board (see his post 12 dec 2008),  
wouldn't they? Otherwise you guys are going to be duplicating each  
other's efforts.

Seb? How's it going? Anything to add?
