   working on MNT Reform Next motherboard design from home (still testing covid positive). it's cool that i can do this on Reform itself now (with RK3588 processor)

     3d shot of the current WIP state of the Reform Next board. as you can see it's mostly a breakout, but also has power functionality and a usb2 hub for internal peripherals.

     first tests with ports. we would like to include at least one usb-a 3.0 port because there are still so many usb-a devices around. will need to go mid-mount here and cut into empty areas of the keyboard, but that was planned anyway.

     @mntmn I’ve drilled out the side plates on my Reform to make room for a much better antenna, and the extra space to do that in the panel rather than drilling out the entire case is much appreciated.
