Hmm, I can get a 4 layer board the same size as the a500 motherboard in quantities of 5 in 2 weeks for £100 delivered, European suppliers seem to be nearly that for a single board even with prototype specials?

It may be useful for smaller pcb's and a fast turnaround, but given everything at the moment, is anyone really in a rush?

Any you'd suggest in particular? I often find it cheaper to get 10 boards made in China than to get 1-2 made anywhere near remotely local. (And DHL from China isn't a lot slower than DHL from Germany)

Indeed I'd also like some Europeean equivalent (maybe that deserves its own Ask HN ?).

Germany isn't a bad place to get 100 - 1,000 PCB's of this magnitude made .. perhaps you'd be better off doing the hardware assembly in Hungary or Croatia right now, albeit for the current cruise notwithstanding, of course ..

It takes a month, yes. There's absolutely no problem with that.
