I know several small shops around here too. They generally do very good work and are happy to do low volume, but are 2.5-4x or so more expensive than going direct to China. I can't sell my products for reasonable prices and have them manufactured here. For example, original local quotes I got for the USBProg were around $75. That clearly doesn't work when I sell them for $80. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
