asterisk users - Apr 2005 - DS3000P - 20 E1 capacity on single card

I just checked digium's site. Looks like next big thing is coming to town
DS3 on single card. Would be nice to know how many channels it can handle. 
Anybody had his hands on this card or knows some details ?

In any case as you wrote "sometime after today" we all should know :-)
