1. I have duplicated the board, but I haven't tested to see if it works or made a kit.

2. I don't think I have any more of these. The memory chips are expensive and I'm not sure it would make sense to duplicate. The card would cost about $400-500 I think. It would be better to have an original 4k card and then make a small 32k card to add to it.

3. I wanted to do it. I have one, but haven't copied or duplicated it yet.
