Thanks for the info guys,
The problem I find with Digi-Key (or Mouser etc.) is the price of
international shipping. I think they ship everything international by
FedEx or DHL which makes shipping a $5 part cost something like $40 by
the time it gets to me...Crazy!

Bill, thanks for the offer, let me just figure out which route would
be cheaper from the US or from Aussi.
I see you stopped making the Apple II+ dual boot boards (thats a
shame), but still have a couple left. What is the price on one of
those?
