Thanks Todd, I've also got the option to ship from the US, I live 90 minutes from the border and cross every 2 or 3 months.
I like the size of the unbuffered prototype board, but I also like having the Address, Data In/Out chips. I'm thinking of adding those buffer chips to the Unbuffered board, but doing so only along the very bottom so they don't take up much space. Any objections? It will take me a bit more time, as I'm just trying to learn KiCad. I don't really want to go through using a schematic and rats nest. It's not that complicated of a board to build... but I'm not sure how to switch KiCad into "Manual". I feel like I'm in a rush, and that's not a fun way to learn a new program. But now for the good news, I talked with my guy here and he will make the boards for me at $20, quantity 100. I'm ok for this quantity, there's a demand for about 25 now, and I'm sure the rest will sell over the next few years.
