Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Lisa PCB pool

I guess it depends if you want to sell it as a kit or pre assembled.

Eric got the PCB. I'm sure his source can churn out a few more. Boards 
are cheap these days.

You just need the get the parts (digikey, farnell, ...) and bag them...
We would save a bit by ordering bulk.

Of course if you want to get them assembled then you are in a heap of 
trouble.
Then you'd have to buy the parts on reels and the fab will charge you 
for setting up the machines.

You'd have to sell a few boards to get those costs back in. I would 
suggest we think about this as plan b if we have enough interest...
