I only got one specific answer to the posting in which I asked for a source to buy the DMA data chip that had gone bad on my 3b1. Are those chips so impossible to find? Now, the good news: Jan Isley, from Discovery Electronics (ex DDS) wrote back not only with a source but with the offer to send me the chip, for FREE!. Since they are not in the business of selling parts (she said), I assume that they had the chip lying around. Nonetheless, without them I'd still be looking for one. Since I didn't even buy the machine from them, I assume they take pretty good care of their customers. I was very favorably impressed. Whenever I can afford to buy accessories, expansion boards or software, I'll definitely talk to them.

I guess I can't even say I'm a satisfied customer :-)
