Apparently the 3x4 Blank Proto Board (Product Id 45305) has been, or is being, discontinued. I liked that board - I liked the quality, I liked the rails and headers it provided. Can anyone suggest an alternative? I can find lots of plain proto boards, but none with the rails and headers I like.

I just finished the product pages for EZasPieProto300 and EZasPieProto600... check them out
I can't match Parallax's pricing, however my boards have more features, and I'll be dropping the bare pcb pricing for the 4"x3" prototyping boards to $9.95USD+s/h

The EZasPie300/600 have long bussed independent power rails, but they are not connected to the 2x25 or 1x25 header areas as different boards locate power and ground at different places on their expansion headers. You can connect any of the "power" busses to any of the pins. The 2x25/1x25 header areas line up with other Mikronaut boards, and can be used with other boards (however they will likely not line up perfectly with other boards). I am still busy with completing RoboPi libraries for, but once that is done, I'll take some photos showing these boards with QuickStart, USB Proto board, Beagle Bone, EZasPi, DE0-Nano etc.
The uCProto/Proteus boards have zig-zag power/vss rails. where only one vertical column of holes is used for both power and vss, alternating between power and vss connections, these boards were designed to stack on my system.
