Hi Ethan,
I know this can be a touchy subject with folks that
just want to make
one thing and not have an explosion of similar but different purchase
options, but I usually ask if it's possible to get just a bare board.
The board
and its design are the expensive parts. Not the labor.
I can't afford to spend EUR 250 on anything PDP-8
related right now,
Like me...
but if I could get a bare board for a fraction of that
and solder my
own, I'd seriously consider it.
Impossible for a fraction.
I have calculated a bit. EUR 100-120 for the whole device will be
possible if I see a perspective to sell 20-25 pieces over time with half
of them preordered.
Kind regards
Philipp
