Indeed. If you were really being cheap, single-sided boards would cost
less, but I don't have any numbers to estimate how much cheaper they
would be. I have both coax and ribbon-cable negibus cables, and some
of the paddle cards are about the size of a G727 Unibus grant card.
Those would be somewhat cheap to make, especially at q25.
BTW: Any market for DF32 emulators out there? I like
mine, but I wondered
if there was demand to get more made?
I'd love one, but I might have to convert my negibus -8/i to posibus to
use it. I suppose I could throw one on my 12K 8/L. I've always wanted
to have disk on it. How much harder would it be to make an RF08
emulator? :-)
