Where does one get the board? Are you planning to offer any
of your extras for sale? I could definitely use one or two
of them.

The Gerber files are in the 'construction pack' at the bottom of the linked page;
the readme.txt and errata.jpg should probably be removed before sending to a PCB house.
But I'll happily send you one or two boards once they get here; just ordered them a
week ago. Maybe Rich also has a couple spare.

I'm just about to build one of those; looks like the cost will be more like C$40.00
including 9 extra PCBs.
As to RS-232, it can provide TTL or 0-3.3V 'pseudo-RS-232' which usually works in
my experience, but if you need 'true' RS-232 there are tiny TTL<>RS-232
adapters on eBay for < $2.00
I believe Rich Cini built one; maybe he can add something Would this be useful?

It would be if it had RS232 rather than TTL? outputs.
To source all that stuff with the high price of USA to Canada shipping
it would be about $150? Canadian as a guess.
