Hello all, had a reply from Webfire about producing some more of these.
Concerning the etching and selling, well it's tempting =) But it's quite time consuming and the problem is getting the ICs. I contacted a dealer here in germany and the IC costs 5,09€ +16% tax. So it's quite expensive already, especially when you can get them for free from Maxim. But I doubt they want to send me more free samples. Already ordered using different addresses =)
A solution would be at least for people in Germany they order the ICs from Maxim for free send them to me I etch the PCB and solder it on. And so they get it back ready. But that's a bit complicated for people from Australia or the US.
But how many do you want? Maybe I can find a solution where to get the ICs. And how much are you willing to pay?
Many thanks to Webfire, not only for offering but for starting up this thread...really useful. Well, I'm certainly interested and will see what the IC prices are here (Australia) when I have more time next week. Is anyone else interested?

:)
