Hello Alexandre,

>         Edson, in Brazil the L298 is EXTREMELLY expensive. Dunno why.
Better go to a >"ferro velho" (how the hell americans call this?) and buy an
old printer, like the Epson >or Grafix ones. You'll find 2 L298, 2 L296 and
some nice parts. They sell it for cheap, >sometimes less than the L298 :o)

    I know two ways to say "ferro-velho" in english: "junk-dealer" and
"fripperer". :)

    If I was needing one of this part I'll simply go to a shop and buy one.
I've alread made this and have one L298 right in front of me. But I need
this to a project where we will manufacture 25-50 boards a month, maybe
more, so I need to make it cheap and functional.

    Anyway, thank you for your reply.

    Regards,

    Brusque
