Hi,

thanks for the eBay link, but there's a catch or two.

First, I am not from the US area, so I'd have to pay an awful lot of customs additionally to to the already pretty high price for an EPROM, a diskette and a pretty common microcontroller.

Second, I contacted Vintage Micros before regarding some other stuff. I was interested in buying various pieces of hardware from them, but there were still some questions open. I also politely asked if they were still offering older versions of MacWorks for my Lisa which don't need the additional PFG hardware in order to work.

The answer which I received an hour later (at least he answered really quickly) made my jaw drop 8-o . It was not only offensive, but also insulting. In a neutral sentence, he told me he wasn't interested in selling anything to me } . I didn't really get what was wrong about my initial eMail :?: , but English is not my native language, so it could be that I expressed my questions in a wrong way. I answered his eMail a day later, trying to find out what went wrong, only to get another even more offensive reply from him.

I still have no idea what was wrong with my initial message. Maybe he doesn't like Germans . By the way, I know people who buy stuff from Vintage Micros on a regular basis with no problems whatsoever. I however clearly cannot recommend the service
