We would need to be able to calculate all costs beforehand. A single pre-payment for the entire order would be simpler and have the least transfer fees. As Attila noted, a european account would reduce the fees even further. > A few people might want the connector.

My main concern is finding the right type of Hirose connectors to put on the daughter boards. IMHO, the IDC connector should _not_ be soldered on. At least for the first batch of cards, there don't seem to be any existing devices which use exactly the same type of connector or even the same number of I/O and ground pins. Therefore, some soldering on the buyer's part is required to use the connector anyway. Later, when there are pre-made extension boards for OGDx, we can still make a batch of cards with the connector soldered at the factory for those who want it. - Viktor Pracht -- Psssst!
