- I too, thought the miniboard 2.0 would be a very good item, but the PCB looked
- too difficult to reproduce. I spoke to some of the hardware people around the
- office and they pointed me to a new process that is very simple. (I've
- yet to try it, so take everything with a grain of salt.)
-
- The process allows you to print the layout on a 300dpi laser printer then
- iron the pattern on to the copper board. The toner acts as a resistor during
- the etching.
