Other suggestions? Hi Phil, A couple of options that I use: AP Circuits in Calgary, Canada (www.apcircuits.com) Will get your boards done in ~3-days and meet your requirement of two board= s and mask and silkscreen with their "Plus" service. As long as you can mor= e-or-less use their default drill rack and don't do crazy routing, you shou= ld be looking at around $30 or so from memory for two 2*3 boards. OSH Park, Oregon, US (www.oshpark.com) This'll take longer than 3-days, but the price to quality ratio is fantasti= c. We're talking solder mask and silk screen on both sides, ENIG plating fi= nish, 6 mil capable, purple* beauties. I can't stress the quality component= enough and I actually consider this to be one of the gold standards in qua= lity based on my reasonably limited experience :) You can quickly price out three boards (they only come in multiples of thre= e). Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at about $5 (five dollar= s) to have all three fab'd with them. *the boards really are purple. No, you can't get any other colour. :) All prices above are plus shipping. Hope that helps. -m --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
