I saw this. I've looked again and it seems I was misled by the pictures. I
saw a nice high-speed board with a [keyboard/video/insert guess here]
interface and two ISA slots. I had these nightmare visions of not having
any interfaces, or worse, having to use the ISA bus to connect the
interfaces (which is scary because none were illustrated or mentioned on
the site) - I say misled because obviously it must have these things - I
just didn't see them...

Not bad at all... :o)
I've been playing with StrongARMs. When Sinclair went away I followed the
Acorn route. This is the main reason I'm so out-of-date on the current
state of play... ;)
