It looks that eighter the holes from the boards there arent plated trough
or there is no Gold connector involved or they have a smaller amount of
holes. Inkl. shipping I think that wouldn't work out cheaper that our own
boards. What we don't have is DEC like handles.
I don't kow where my friend is ordering the boards, but I do have some out
of it's hands here, know they are really good. (other things, network and
memory cards for old 8/16 bit computers from the former GDR and such ...)
Douglas' breadboards are reputed to be rather nice, but if I recall correctly, you are
right in that they are not just grids of holes. They have IC positions laid out, which
may not be to everyone's liking, but may be preferable to some people. They are also
not extremely cheap, especially with things like handles installed. I would be surprised
if they didn't have gold plated card edges, though.
You can always email and ask, though; I've used their layout software in the past and
have always found them to be quite responsive. I haven't ordered a board from them in
quite some time, though.
some months
ago ,I made several circuit boards to reproduce the leningrad
computer,a zx spectrum machine ,I paid 10 euro/board,I had to order
five,their dimension is 22cm*11cm
Again, no gold plating here and we want some on the connector.
They might offer that, but according to what I could make out of the French, it was a
one-month turnaround.
So an statement like "I'll take 2-5 depending
on price" isn't wery helpful
here, how we should calculate this then?
We don't want to end with a big stock of such PCBs and have nothing left to
live.. (This is hobbyism only)
If you wind up with spares left over, ping me and I'll buy some. I'm not actively
planning anything, so I'm not actively looking to buy anything, but if you need to
move them, I'll gladly buy some of them so you're not under water. :-)
