We have already one desktop oven and a manual stencil printer. And we have a quite complete soldering bench with several JBC tools. We also have stock for all active elements we use. We normally relay on the PCB assembler to provide the passive comp

A PC or computer? Just kidding. Years ago, when I was young you could use a floppy disc and transfer the ascii files at your PC to the disk and then convert them to binary Fuji format on the MCS-16 and MCS-30. You may have to format and then prepa
