I got the eMMC directly from the people who build the pinebook. Like someone else here, I was kind of hoping they'd populate the pinebook build with the selected eMMC (and maybe throw in the original as spare)... no such luck. I received the pinebook with the original eMMC (it worked) and then installed the 64gb eMMC which doesn't appear to work. I suspect there May be a trick... there was a metal shield and the original module was glued w adhesive to the metal plate (so it came up with the shield when I pulled it off). there was also some electrical tape covering the other connections to the mainboard which I let nearly in place. It appears the eMMC connects to the mainboard thru a single (very small) rectangular many pin connector which appears to compliance fit. It's also off-center asymmetric and has only one apparent orientation.
