From my point of view it does not make sense to redesign a product that has
been cancelled earlier because of the poor sales. The A-123 was discontinued
long ago before the CEM3320 ran short (i.e. the A-123 cancellation had
nothing to do with CEM3320 supply problems). The discontinuation of the
A-123 was announced about 2 years before the last A-123 module was sold. The
announcement of the discontinuation did not change the sales (which were in
the range of 2-3 modules per month and it took about 2 years to sell the
last 30-35 modules).

I ask for your understanding and maybe a new poll will convince me. But I
don't think so.

Best wishes
