PCBs are back from JLCPCB and looking very nice. If I do another batch I think I'll reduce the width of the edge fingers area 1-2mm so it's just a bit less snug in the card slot. Time to do some soldering.

@swetland How much for an unpopulated PCB?
Show threadBrian Swetland

@mos_8502 For 5 pieces, I paid $4.70/ea for the main PCB and $0.40/ea for the VGA connector board. Shipping was about $17 for the lot.

Components are pretty cheap too -- a Rpi Pico, 4x 74LVC245A, and some Rs and Cs, mostly.

@swetland Yeah, makes sense -- though, I was asking how much I'd have to give you to have you mail me one of the PCBs.

@mos_8502 Assuming they work (I'd want to get one assembled and tested first), maybe $10 plus shipping. It looks like $10-11 for USPS priority mail envelope or box.

@swetland Cool. Get back to me when you know they work, I'd love to have one for my IIgs, in case they ever add native modes for that.
