All of this is determined by the workload the heroic Harry Bissel will bear, without turning 
into a bear.

Right now we have:

Power connector
2 x poly fuses
2 x 1N4001
2 x Filter caps
TL431 shunt regulator (for DAC reference)
LM78L05ACZ
some 0.1 ceramics
4 x TL074 or 8 x TL072 or whatever you like to put there
16 x 3 pin pot connectors
9 trim pots (optional that every input channel be calibrated).
2 x 16 pin DAC chips
40 some resistors .
40 pin processor socket
32 x 1N4148 protection diodes (inputs an outputs)
Various connector pads and perfboard areas

I would guess that is about 4 hours for schematic capture, 4 hours to place and another 4 
hours to route.

So about a weekend of Harry's very valuable time.

We might be able to wedge a connector to some kind of evaluation board in this glorious 
mess. Like if there was an eval board for that programmable analog chip they keep talking 
about making Moogs out of... http://www.anadigm.com/Sol_10_d.asp
