[LinuxBIOS] RD1-PMC4 Inventory

[David H. Barr]

I'm trying to find just a few more BIOS Saviors, but the only place I
can see that has any on hand will be about $40 USD delivered from the
E.U.  Does anybody know of a U.S. vendor that has stock remaining (I
know, they're not manufactured anymore)?

-dhbarr.

Funny you should mention that. I just ordered 2 this morning from that place
in Sweden - and it's more like $45 delivered. Couldn't find a US reseller
either.

Thanks,
Ward.

We need to purchase the remaining stock of these things and sell/loan
them among ourselves.  I've got $500 that I'll donate to the cause to
start the ball rolling.  Who else is in ?  What models do we want?

You could instead build your own BIOS saviour with a soldering iron,
two chips and a switch. More compatible, larger sizes, still available.

I'll try to do exactly that in a few days and report back.

I could.  However, I don't want to.  I rather want to purchase up a lot 
of the remaining stock before they are all gone and loan them to people 
who _can't_ build their own but may be able to contribute.

Excellent.  Take pictures of the process so you can put them up on the wiki.
