Re: [N8VEM-S100:3431] S-100 boards in work - uPD7220

[Todd Goodman <t...@bonedaddy.net>]

Hi David,

I have the file fine and have generated the gerbers and will be placing
the order with 4pcb.com shortly for their $33 proto boards.

We can deal with payment when the boards arrive.  If you each want to
send along your mailing address to this email privately then I can
probably work out shipping costs (based on other S-100 boards.)  I like
to ship with cardboard around the board inside a padded Priority Mail
flat rate envelope ($5.95 in the US) but I'm certainly open to shipping
using a different method.  Obviously it will be different for those of
you outside the US.

I'll update you when the order is accepted by 4pcb.com.

Regards,

Todd
