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 ?
;-)
Do you really need gold fingers? My PCB place does gold immersion for a
flat $30.00 per board run. No, it's not as thick as gold fingers, but
does the board really need the full plating thickness?
If someone could give me a board size and a thickness, I can get a
ballpark PCB quote for you all. 10 versus 100 will not make a
difference to the board house, or at least has not yet made a difference.
Startup cost is $50 for layout.
SMT is not an issue either, unless you want the board house to
assemble. If so, it's $125 for a stencil.

Sorry,
but the new one want be cheaper than that. 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.
