I'm glad you said maybe.  As a breakout/i/o board, it looks great, but 
those polulu stepper stamps aren't big enough to run anything I have at 
usable speeds. 

Has anyone seen a price quote?  Its not on the site.  More, obviously, than 
the BeBo itself, but compact enough to make one overlook some of that.
