the most efficient method for me has been to call a buddy with a laser and have
him bust them out for me. There are several I have worked with, but prices have
gone up so much as of late, I now do most prototyping by hand again. <br>
<br>
As for fuses, they are pretty crude for a reason. And the big watchout is that
there are good profiles out there, and then there is mass marketed garbage. <br>
<br>
I'll shoot you some stuff off list that I think you'll enjoy : )<br>
