Yes, this is the store next door. They have a relatively small
selection of parts, but they are probably the most convenient, national
source of parts that has ever been. Their support page is quite good and provides
information on products, specs, physical dimensions, and application notes.
Prototype printed circuit house. This company will take
Gerber plot files, produce your boards, and send them to you FedEx
in about 2 to 3 days. All this at a very reasonable price
($60 + .85*(board area in square inches)) Canadian dollars
Makers of
Schematic and PCB CAD software. The remarkable
thing about this company is that they have made their very capable
EasyTrax software available FREE. I use this software extensively
for both making PCBs and for drawing schematics.
