[Coco] Prototype PCB's

[Little John]

Gene,
I usually generate excellon drill files and gerb274x using EAGLE's default 
CAM processor settings. How much would the Drills cost? I could probably 
talk my dad into getting them for you. This would be great - It would allow 
me to get some of this stuff tested. I release all of my projects as "open" 
projects so anybody can use them as they see fit. Prototyping is getting 
more difficult for me due to the decline of my eyesight and this would 
definitely be a great boon to my projects.
Thanks for all your help - John
