John sent me some parts a while back, and I ordered a bunch of flash ram
and all the other bits, and then got ambushed by life. I had a line on a
place that specialized in low-volume quantities for things like that; I
don't recall offhand if that included the PCB manufacture, but I suspect
not. The total cost per assembled piece was, at the time, going to come
to ~$125/board. I'm staring at several hundred dollars in electronics
components as I type this, and my flash supplier has told me that they
just got a new shipment of parts in. I can see if I can scrounge up the
name of the assembler I was going to use, if you'd like.
