Don't forget that if you come home on Friday and layout a simple
opto-couplier board for a parallel port for you new laptop, you have
to send out for 3 boards and spend about $60.00 and wait until
Wednesday to get it.

Or, drop in a hunk of PCB materal, etch and drill it, with holes
perfectly lined up, and be soldering it in about an hour. and just
the on board, not three.

As for test boards, I don't get boards in DXF, because my WinQCAD
exports directly into G-code.

I need to make a opto-isolator for a parallel breakout board.

if you want a copy of that,I can send that once I find out which pins
go which way.
