RE: [N8VEM-S100:2365] Board Run: Unbuffered Prototyping

Hi Andrew,

I must be real slow. I click the "Regular Prototype" board on the right hand side, and also see it down the page... but neither takes me to a file download area. Instead i get some 8086 folder and VDP folder?? Perhaps I need to click with my left hand?

PS. What is DFM? I know what DMF is (been called that before).

Thanks
Josh

Are you able to see the Gerber files from the KiCAD EDA file set?

I would generate those and run them through DFM before even considering a manufacturing run.

I am confident the file set is current since I made the ZIP file on 1 Feb 2014 and there has not been any changes to it in about a year or so.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Andrew Lynch

Hi Paul, Steven,

Great. This is the only board I'm willing to have made ahead of orders. I am positive they will sell, if not, I will have a life supply of prototyping boards. But, before I send an order to the factory, I want to make sure someone else is not ordering them. It doesn't make sense for two people to have a stack of these.

Steven, where you thinking of ordering a batch from the factory?

Regards,
Josh

Josh: Both Steven Feinsmith and myself have recently expressed interest in a run of the unbuffered prototyping board. I have brought this topic up several times over the past year or so (most recently 2-3 weeks ago, without response) but there's been insufficient interest (borderline none) and I haven't had sufficient immediate need to strike out on my own with a run of only a few much-more-expensive boards. I'd like to see us get the volume up to the point that we approach/reach the $20 per-board cost, but that means at least 20 boards. I'm not sure that each of us wants 7 boards ... but three interested parties is certainly better than just one :->.

I'm located in Maryland; not sure where Steven is located. I gather that CA-US shipping cost is asymmetric -- here-to-there is cheaper than there-to-here?

I'd be willing to serve as "trail boss" if there's sufficient interest. Andrew did offer to get me started last week, but I still await sufficient interest ...

Can I get commitments on board counts from interested folks, please?

Thanks,

paul

Hi Group,

I am thinking of helping out and doing a board run. I was planning on doing the unbuffered prototype board, but Andrew thought someone else here may already have that in motion? First, let me start by saying I'm in Canada, so it may be a little more costly to ship to the US, but internationally it might not make any difference.

Can we hear a vote of which boards to build, and a show of hands who might want to build them?

I don't want to organize the group... but with a little communication I believe we can organize ourselves.

Regards,
Josh
