Is it out of the question to just have a negative shot and make the
boards yourself? I laid out a little circuit by hand once, and took
the tapes (2-sided, with extra register marks) to a photoshop - nothing
to do with electronics - and they printed them 6-up for me; I got a Radio
Schlock sensitized board and etched it myself and cut it up. A little
piece of #30 wire-wrap wire can substitute for plated-thru holes.
Or, find a retro board house. ;-)
Good Luck!
