The details of the method and the initial technical details of the
first version of V's modification are all here:
http://techref.massmind.org/techref/pcb/etch/cx4200-vs.htmand I will be overjoyed to post any additional technical details on
that same site.
While this list is fantastic for discussing those sorts of thing, it
makes more sense to have a distilation of the details, leaving out
all the chatter, on a web page.
Other simular modifications and general information about direct
inject etching are here:
