HI Wayne, list,

I have 4 holes on a 4" x 3" rectangle (the corners), and one in the center.
I'm going to try and BOLT the board down to a sacrificial piece that has
been flycut flat in the mill. That should get me fairly flat and true.
We'll see.

Oh! You mentioned no plated through holes! I almost forgot about that!
I'll have to move a few via's then.
