RE: Another PCB manufacturer

That's a good deal for boards that also include soldermask and silkscreen in
addition to etched copper and plated through holes. I'd like to get a hold
of them, but the URL points to a phone book printer...

Do you have any other info?

One last note. More and more services accept files in GCPrevue format
and I would STRONGLY recommend that prospective PCB designers learn how
to use GCPrevue and then submit their jobs in this format.

Finally, I have no formal affiliation with Omni (although I do have an
informal relationship), except as a longtime loyal customer.
