Hmm. How would that be cheaper than $51 for 3 boards? Ofcourse,
someone pointed out that the ExpressPCB boards are a tad too
wide. And to go cutting on something that expense seems a little crazy.
For such a simple board and almost no components other than the EPROM
and a socket, those prices seem unjustified.
Heck I think we all have the skills to even cut and etch a simple
EPROM board ourselves. That's why I was originally asking about the
copper boards.
