Remember all of those e-mails back in November regarding MLBs with CIC
layers?  Well, it's time again...  We went ahead and designed a CIC board,
mainly because our present board house said "no problem, we do it all the
time".  Well, he fell on his face and now, 3 months after placing the order,
he can't deliver.  Obviously, he has little, if any, experience with CIC.
His problem is "...inserting the invar material into the copper tanks kills
the solution and provide no plating".  He is suggesting gold plating the
vias first, then copper plating.  Has anyone ever heard of this before?  Is
this a viable solution?  Anyway, we're now looking for a new board supplier
who HAS experience with CIC.  Any recommendations?  This is a prototype run
of 5 boards only.

Thanks again for all your help,
