Re: allpcb, pcbway, etc 100mm x 100mm
Jack,
I got bitten on this problem when AllPCB was having their $5 special in December.? I had gerbers for a DJ Delorie laminator temperature controller set:
and gerbers at:
DJ put both the power supply and main board in the gerber divided only with a blank line. AllPCB charged me $34 for that as they considered it to be a panelized board.? If I had split them or knew how to make 2 separate gerbers out of them I could have submitted each for $5 so the total would have been $10 rather than $34 even though the total size of the panel was less than 100x100 by quite a bit!? They did not separate the panels for me after etching and silk screening.? I still have to cut them apart.
Chuck,? I mentioned the above experience to someone after it happened.? I was told that he gets by the panelized pc board problem by putting a solid boarder around the entire 4 quadrants sort of like a ground bus or a power bus so it appeared to be one board rather than 4 boards in one panel.? The line does not have to be thick but has to be there,? otherwise they consider it to be a panel of 4 boards rather than one board.? That boarder does not and probably should not connect to anything.? I hope that helps.
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure some one in this group has done this.
I want to divide the 100mm x 100mm area into four
quadrants.? Should I have just said into quadrants?
The four seems superfluous.? Had to ask Alexa to
spell for me.? :-)
Is there a way to sneak this by the board manufacturers
so as not to get charged four times as much?

Re: Some KayPro 2s >>>> Osborne 1
My software company, Ecosoft, did a deal with Adam Osborne where he bought the rights to distribute my statistics package (Microstat) with his computers. I wonder if yours is one that has the software?

Please include me in your new 'Group.'
The only reason I went to college was to understand "...how computers
work...."
As a young lad in high school, ...computers just fascinated me and
captured my curiosity to learn.
In college, the first course was to take 4-bit, bit-slice, processors;
string them together and write microcode and a small assembler. ?
After a heavy dose of hardware training; then through karnaugh maps and
state reduction... I was forever hooked.

Same here, Dave. I used my last pair on a Ten-Tec case that housed my SS-40 receiver (K8IQY design). Later I sold it. The buyer was delighted with the flip-up feet.

I have seen those but haven't tried them, On Amazon they run about $15-$16 for a set of two legs.

Also another amazon search using ¡°laptop cooling feet¡± there is another set for $9.99 from PerformaGear.
