Hi Gus,

Sorry for the late reply, but I have full time job also :)
The CS8900A is connected correctly, so you don't have to swap R56 and 
R57, anyway it will work in both cases.
In the current version CS8900A will work in 8-bit mode only and with 
polling (no interrupts). This is the way this boards was intend to 
work (our engineers decided to make it "compatible" to LPC-E212x) , 
the 16 bit data bus was wired by mistake ;) it doesn't make any 
problems though. I catched this issue on very late stage when 300 
boards were alerady assembled.
Our new OKI-E5003 which now is routing will have 16-bit mode and 
interrupts supported. 

Best regards
Tsvetan
