Hi Gene, I wasn't pushing you to buy my breakout board. I'd assume you would have bought a C10 from CNC4PC. It's a plain signal buffered board. Not as good as mine of course. :)
As to the DC-03, I had a bit of a rush last week, so am putting another run through the pick and place machine this week. As to shipping overseas tell me about it. I used to ship by airmail, costing about $16.00 - $17.00 to the USA. Then I had a few rip me off claiming to Paypal that they didn't receive it. The final straw was when a guy purchased something then after 12 days (parcels take 10-14 days to get to the USA) a got notification of a Paypal dispute. I emailed him, both directly and through Paypal 7 or 8 times over the 4 week claim period to try and confirm the delivery address, etc. He never responded to any email. So Paypal refunded the money as I couldn't prove it was sent and there was no tracking number. So I updated the order in my database which automatically sends a copy to him. Within 30 seconds I got a response from him as he didn't like how I updated my database. ================================================================================== That's really professional. I didn't receive my merchandise. You failed to uphold your end of the transaction by failing to provide an online method for tracking the delivery of the purchase. Check the PayPal user agreement...

So now I only send by registered airmail or Express Post International as they are trackable but this adds to the cost. And now there is a $9.00 surcharge levied as the USA requires every parcel over 1Kg to be X-rayed. Someone is making some serious money from this junket. So in the end, my international sales suffer as the price too the door is uncompetitive. A DC-03 DigiSpeed is $38.00 and costs about $25.00 to ship to the USA, so it's hard to compete in the Global market place. :) 1:40am time for sleeep.
