Hi all,
If someone does pick up on Ken Gillander's design and go into
production, like Dave, I'd be game for two also. FYI, I did write
Ken (BFEKen@copper.net) asking if he had any and he responded with
"None left, unfortunately".
I've copied Ken on this so he knows what we're discussing.
Cheers,
Brian
