Re: [slim] SBC cradles now for sale...
O.K., I checked the one I have on my cradle at home and I am now confident it is the same one as I found. As a matter of fact it has the same manufacturer part number on it. Here's the manufacturer and the page with all of the different plates. http://www.phihongusa.com/html/psam30r.html Here's where I found the plate here in the U.S., but I would imagine there are many other places you can get one. On the manufacturer site they even gave names and contact info for companies that carried them. Anyway, here's where I got mine. http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=gysHf8X%2fkx00c1GF9Vu5IQ%3d%3d .59 each.

Ahh. Just re-read the thread and came across this. What we have here (for us long suffering European residents) seems to be a chink in the Logitech "you have to use our decrepit European distribution system so we can keep our differential pricing" armour. It still peeves me when I remember trying to get a boom when they first came out and was told that 'we have boxes full in our back room' in Mountain View and the UK delivery at higher price was 4 weeks. Just for grins, you should see the places that Slim will ship to out of the US (have a look at the drop down box on their website). I am not sure all of them are even inhabited.

The wall wart uses slide on plug adapters for most AC outlets. The voltage of ones country shouldn't be a problem. I don't know if they are including all the adapters or if they are including the adapter for only the country itÂ’s shipped to.

Reasonable indeed. And now for the next inevitable question. Where's a Dutchman going to order one with the right plug? Will they be available through the Logitech store or anywhere else in Europe?
