Frank,

Nice clean looking board. To bad about the outstanding issues. Those tiny MOSFET packages are tough, but with a little practice I was able to hand solder those. Good luck there.

One the issue of ribbon cables with little access space for connectors, here is a little trick that I have done in the past. I mount a standard, thru-hole header on the board edge, with pads on the top and bottom of the board. Depending on the board thickness you might have to bend the leads to get a tight fit.

You can then use IDC connectors on ribbon cable to plug into the headers.
