Ingo,

I noticed a extremely poor interest in the A-111-2 even compared to other
modules that were not available and which were - from my point of view -
much less "spectacular" that the A-111-2. We had e.g. much much more
inquiries for all of the new modules (A-106-6, A-132-3, A-134-2, A-138e,
A-189-1) than for the A-111-2. Even for the extremely simple switched
multiple module (A-182) the inquiries were better. This is why the
development of the A-111-2 has not been put on the back burner. But I think
we will continue with the A-111-2, even because I stand by this module. And
I noticed in the past that this is sometimes more important than poll
results or customer inquiries :-)

Best wishes
