Re: [AVR-Chat] ARRGGGHHHHH PCB's

2005-09-05 by Ken Holt

If anyone can recommend any more low-cost PCboard house in the US, I 
would be grateful.
My old standby, Advanced Circuits, has now dropped their slow-turn proto 
service,
which was the best buy for 50-100 double sided .  I'm not looking 
forward to
trying out unknown new houses.
