Now he tells me. :) What a pain the arse ∗that∗ is. I just reworked a DS
board to single side, and got it down to "only" 10 jumpers.

Speaking of vias, a few of them ended up under the chips. The SO packages
barely make it, with a standoff height of 4 mils. I have one more SSOP
package to glue on, due here tomorrow. I'm expecting trouble with that one.
The spec says only 2 mils available underneath. Any advice? It's not just a
via any more; it's a jumper now in a 24 mil hole on a SS board.

I think it's time for the heat gun; start over.
