I'd just noticed the MAB on the LA3ZA modifications page and was doing
initial research, although my feeling is that the component sourcing
costs are going to be too high to justify, especially if one has to buy
the extender and pay customs clearance fees on it as well as multiple
lots of
The project is at that awkward point where more than a few prototypes are
desired but likely not enough to enable a reasonably priced production run.
Ideally someone with resources beyond mine would want to pick it up at some
point if the numbers are there to justify it.
ExpressPCB's advice
I know not what a MAB board is, but I bought pcb's from ExpressPCB
and cut them using a dremel cutoff wheel run against a metal ruler
to keep a straight line. Comes out very neat. The clue is to allow
some space on the board for cutting. For little projects this works
out cheaper.
I made
Thanks, Ed. Sounds like good advice -- and I have that tool :-)

I'm willing to place an order for these boards under these conditions:
These boards come 3 to a sheet from ExpressPC boards. You have to cut the
three boards out with a shear to use them, then there are some other minor
mods to each board as documented in the PDF I linked to above.
The per order
It does not have to be that expensive.
The boards can be purchased using their 4-layer MiniboardPro service. The
current cost is $98 plus $9.85 shipping for three identical panels.
Each panel contains three MAB boards. So the cost per MAB board would be
$11.98.
I used a shear to cut out the
Thanks for pointing out my error Dave. I wasn't looking closely enough, and
that makes it much better. I'll modify my proposal:
I'll order three sheets for $110, so $37 each sheet with three boards.
If two others will agree to buy a sheet of three boards for $37, I'll do it.

Chip - I am in for a three board sheet for $37.
Thanks for picking this up.

I would like one of the boards.
I would be willing to to pay for one of the three board sheets if no
one comes forward to buy the second sheet.

Anybody working on another batch of the Modular Accessory Board for the K2
as documented here:

Tom Taylor did a couple batches and distributed the boards, for which he
deserves a round of kudos, but he isn't in a position to do it
Me too, Chip. Bad part is I had one, collected all
the parts to do the build and now I can't find it:
Not in envelope it arrived in nor the drawer that
and the components are in -- so I fear it may have
somehow been trashed.
