Well, I received a note from the PCB comapany and the parts arrived ~2
days later. The entire order only cost 90$ or so including shipping.

This is my own project the boards are the eyes/fingers so to speak of a
distributed system - although they can be used just dandy stand-alone.

Right now this is a hobby for myself and a friend - however I will
probably make the boards available as a kit - with pre-programmed PIC. As
soon as I determine what my total cost is I'll know what makes sense to
charge for them - in any case I expect it will be 50$ or less. The board
has 5 available A/D converters, 2 capture/hold channels (input from MAF,
spoofed MAF output to ECM) and a bunch of digital I/O which I will
initially use to drive an LCD panel. It also has RS-232 I/O although I did
that at 5V, not the usual higher voltage - so you would need to use a
MAX232 or equivalent.
