[GreenKeys] RS232 to TTY Loop Boards

[Jeffrey D Angus]

Perhaps I wasn't quite clear on this.
I'm NOT making the boards.
I _am_ offering to assemble them if you don't want to make them yourself.
Labor to assemble them is roughly $10 each + shipping.

However, that being said, If I get enough orders for boards, I can have 
them
made via ExpressPCB. They are, not cheap. For example, a 1.9" x 2.2" board,
double sided with solder mask and silk screen is roughly $300 for twenty of
them. So $15 apiece.
Without the silk screen and solder mask, the cost drops down to $153 or
about $7.65 each.
The "set up cost per order" is the real cost here. $245 for the full 
board, and
$61 for the one without the solder mask and silk screening.

Obviously, if you all go crazy and order enough of them, it brings the total
distributed costs down. For example, 40 of the simple boards drops down to
$5.85 apiece instead of $7.65.

Then, there's also the cost of the parts for the boards. Mouser does give a
price break on quantity. So that helps.

However, both the PS7141E and the thick film 10 watt resistor are non-
stocked items. The cost of them are about $3 each.

If y'all want me to, I will sit down, do a PC board layout for currently
available parts, and an itemized parts list with costs for all three items.
Parts, PC board and Labor. My guess at this point is going to be around
$30 per board assembled. Closer to $40 if you want the pretty boards
with solder mask and silk screen.
