It would be a killer kit!
The SID availability seems like a big issue though - in the original post Markus said it took a while to get a replacement for the broken test chips. Now, if you could make a DIP-shaped adapter that dropped in if you don't have an SID chip...
Another problem is SMD components. I don't think any PIC32s come in DIP, or even an easy TQFP-44. In my (humble) experience with SMD kits, more people order them by accident than want to build them, once SSOP or TQFP64 parts are involved.
I would *love* to see something like this as a kit though. It's retro fun.
