According to the datasheet for the evaluation board *everything* is included. http://www.analog.com/UploadedFiles/Evaluation_Boards/Tools/272463157ADXRS300EB_0.pdf > Besides, one of the main goals of this project is to keep it small.

Again, according to the datasheet, the size is that of a 20 pin DIP, 0.3" wide. When I have the time/money I will get one myself and know for sure. -- D. Jay Newman ! jay@sprucegrove.com !
