Re: [N8VEM-S100:3288] Re: Group Order of S-100 SMB Display Mezzanine Boards

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

That's fine.  If people would rather do it that way I can get them
panelized with a V-scoring so they can be snapped apart.

However there's about twice as many orders for TIL311 than the other
two.

For manufacture it comes down to about the same (panelizing a single
board vs panelizing three different boards) as the board house claims
it's a "mostly linear" cost per board area.  It's just different as far
as requiring people to purchase all three vs what they want.

People are free to purchase all three if they want and hopefully the
cost will be 1/3 for one vs three on a single panel.  Of course everyone
can determine for themselves once I get final prices whether they still
want them.
