    sounds like it would cost alot to have a PCB made for me and on top of that i dont even know how i would be able to send the specs to a company for them to make one any ways... do you know? other wise im going to use a prototype board and solder every thing. and pray that i traced all the lines right...

    G'Day 388th.
    Regarding Futurlec, their prices can't be beaten. I live in Australia and use them regularly. Generally they have most parts in stock, but occasionally you have to wait for a back-order.
    Regarding the PCBs, you can get them from Rob Van Dijk at:
    http://www.rvdijk.nl/index.htm

    Most of the website is in dutch, but you'll get to know everything because the board names are in English. One thin to remember is that Rob's boards are Not drilled, which gets frustrating when you have to drill a IO, DO64, Display boards. He does however also have 7 segment LEDs, programmed chips and rotary encoders. Very pleasant man to deal with. Double sided boards are about 14Euro (18USD), but remember you need very fine drill bits and an accurate bench drill.

    Check his prices and stock at:
    http://www.rvdijk.nl/stock.htm

    You can download the info including Layout files from:
    http://www.rvdijk.nl/pcb.htm

    If you want to go the Futurlec path, go to:
    http://futurlec.com/PCBService.shtml

    Most boards are about 100mm x 160mm single or double sided. It does instant quoting. I put in 100x160 single sided-$26USD for the first and 11.20 for each other. For dble sided, $41USD, and $16 thereafter. They are drilled and I just got 6 stepper boards, which are very fine lined, but the quality was first rate. 12 Day turnaround. You need to give them the gerber and drill files.
    Regards,
    Rob.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention, the last time I ordered $MHz resonators, they were the 2 pin type which you can't use. You need the 3pin.
    Regards,
    Rob.
