Also . . . the thought has occurred to me there might still be a market for optical EBMs for these older 'Books. Anyone care to comment on the business case for producing a few hundred EBM kits (maybe just EBM shell and IF PCB, sans mechanism) that could be used in both Wallstreet and 3400/Kanga?

I'd buy one or more. The major difficulty I see is sourcing the connector; it's a Foxconn part that was discontinued years ago. Cheers, Ben On 27 Mar 2005, at 18:50, Andrew Kershaw wrote: Also . . . the thought has occurred to me there might still be a market for optical EBMs for these older
