Re: Have I got a deal for you...
That does sound like a crazy way to run a business.
I work for a company that designs and manufactures test instruments (oscilloscopes, amplifiers etc..), and everything is now designed in a much more modular way, multiple revisions of pcbs etc.. A board can easily be designed to take a number of different ICs with slight modification.
I'm sure we'd go out of business instantly if the cost of producing our boards went up 300%.
