Re: CMI Extender Boards + CMI III service manual in PDF...

Hi James,

This is a shame as I am one of those people who would purchase one 
straight away, not only for the increase in memory but to reduce the 
overall number of cards running and the subsequent heat generation. 

It is especially frustrating given that the production should be 
quite simple. If the designs are there (which they clearly are) then 
having a run of boards etched really isn't that difficult; neither is 
sourcing 32MB SIMMS for that matter.

With reference to your last point, I'm based in London (... more 
accurately I live in Kent but work in the City).

Best regards,
Chris.
