I am assuming that the two drawings, the first in Section 5.1 labelled "Pinout", and the second on succeeding page labelled "Bottom View" are reversed because the first is actually a top view, right?

More questions, for Zefir:

These chips will be guaranteed operational, and tested before shipping, right? We can't act as your packaged-article test because we risk having to do rework on non-functional chips. There are no sockets for these chips for us to do the testing to reduce our risk, so perhaps they are tested at the factory after packaging, and that testing is covered in the pricing? Are the chips binned for voltage/frequency of operation (that is, are you guaranteeing all chips we buy will operate in Turbo mode, and produce 40GH/s there?) Are all 32 engines guaranteed operational? You can see where this is going... a guarantee of more free chips to make up for failed ones is not sufficient to make up for the rework costs, and system customers won't pay premium prices for boards with a chip that only partially works when it arrives.... Just want to know what we can expect to get our hands on... untested random gambles, or properly in-package-tested chips?

Thanks guy!
