Corp. ISTR we spent >$100 per Qbus blank board because we never made orders
larger than q. 100. They are large boards (by today's standards) and with
that much gold, aren't cheap to make.
Since most of the actual circuitry can be fit onto a small PCB, might I
suggest that the PCB be fit into a frame, the frame being the same
dimensions as a normal QBus card so that it will still fit nicely into a
Qbus chassis. The only problem will be the edge connector connections
from the PCB.
