Yes, I doubt you will. We are trying (http://www.emacinc.com/som/som400em.htm) But I don't know that the boards can be build for as cheap is Maxim is selling them. How could anyone build them that cheap but Maxim? Maxim makes all the parts on those boards so it is free to discount itself, and is selling them at the lowest price possible to get people to develop with with their parts. I seriously doubt they are making the a profit selling their carrier at $36. If they were, why would they stop selling them? It's the same reason they wrote the OS so hardware specific, they want to sell Dallas components, that's what they do. >So this is an >invitation to you guys: Make a TINI-board as small and cheap as >possible - and make both me and Maxim happy! Several new carrier designs are in the works.....
