That's why I
don't call them expensive.
A new one can easily be cheaper than that,
assuming you don't
intend to recoup all of your development expenses in the first two
or three sales. I expect quite a few of these cards would sell.
There's no reason to price it up in the stratosphere.
$ 200 is definitely even close to the stratosphere.
Entertain yourself and get a quote for just the PCB.
(4Layer, gold fingers, 14 routing points, non standard thickness,
prototype amount 10, smt)
And while you're at it, put the qbus drivers on it and a handle.
Please tell me what you got so far.
Stratosphere ?
;-)
If you want to design it to be as expensive as possible, sure, I
suppose you could do that.
First, four layers isn't required for something like this, as the
available board real estate is huge and the parts won't be that
dense. Next, I'd make them square, and trim them with a cutter to
eliminate the additional routing points.
