Meanwhile, for PCB shops I have been very happy with
Olimex
(www.olimex.com) in Bulgaria. If you're not in a flaming hurry
(airmail takes about 10-12 days but is only $8) they will make a
Eurocard-sized two layer, silkscreen, solder masked board for $26,
directly from your emailed Eagle .SCH and .BRD files. Turnaround
time is 3-5 days not counting the airmail.
That sounds attractive - but what are these .SCH and .BRD files? Is
there any documentation on the format? I don't mind doing board layout
and such myself, but I have to know what I need to generate. (No,
running the software in question is not an option, if for no other
reason than its being, I gather, closed-source.)
