Seems like this is run by Sparkfun. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam. Use another domain or send PM.

No complaints at all about the board quality (two-sided) and the prices are certainly good. Actually, I received twice the number of boards that I had ordered at no extra cost, presumably because it was used to fill out the panel. They did take a while to be received, though! -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

This is almost $2.50 a square inch. Except its for 5 and delivery is 2 weeks. Someone here had pointed them out. We had some 4 layer stuff done and the quality is excellent. Cheers
