I'm just waiting on confirmation from the host that the site has been moved from backup to the new server. It's taking a while.

That printing looks great! I've used the Tayda drilling for a pretty complex build (EQD Data Corrupter), and everything was spot-on perfect for the fit. Highly recommended.

Weird, some article popped up on my Firefox homepage today talking about where all the barf bags went.

I didn't have any desire to read it at the time but now ...

I wonder what other things they'll start getting rid of that don't seem to get used often. Hmm...life preserver under the seat? C'mon. How many people really take a dump on the plane? Goodbye, toilet paper! Co-pilot? You only need one pilot, really. Extra fuel? Gone.
Pretty soon we'll all just be sitting on the floor flying in a stripped-down tin can that may or may not make it if there's any kind of delay. But don't worry. You can buy a testor of Jack Daniels for $50...if you pre-ordered it with our app!

Will the softi relay bypass be back in stock? I wanted a couple for a few projects at some point

I'm not sure. I have a new relay bypass PCB designed around the VFE system so I may go with that instead. In either case, one or the other will be made available.

I know this thread is old, but I prefer to use what is established, rather than start a million new threads covering the same thing.
Soapbox time:
Have you ever been on an airline that didn't have ANY barf bags? I was on one last night. And of course, they hit some really bad turbulence, the kind that has those wonderful free-fall drops mixed in. And yep, people started puking. But there were no bags anywhere. And since it's "company policy" that everybody (including flight attendants) have to stay where they are during turbulence, that means nobody could go to the bathroom, nobody could get any assistance, nobody could do anything about puke flying all over. By the time the plane landed, the aisles looked like a crime scene of spent napkins and piles of digested pretzels.
I'm wondering...who is the absolute bungling idiot that refused to put barf bags on the plane? What did they expect would happen when the puke starts flowing? Does somebody hate the poor souls who have to clean the planes? Yet another example of the crippling stupidity so prevalent in the world today.

Looking good from here! I can't tell you how many sins I've hidden under washers. How do you like the circuit?

Thanks AN. I wish I could give an honest assessment as I only tested to make sure everything works. The reason is I ruptured my bicep  6 weeks ago and had it reattached 5 weeks ago. I've been given the go ahead to pick lightly as of today but I lost all my callous     But I can assure you I'll find out in a month or so as I build back up.
