Re: [OT] Compaq Smart-2DH array controller

["matt_miles_uk" <m_miles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

Thanks for the offer - sorry the reply is not offlist (my email is
playing up I think).  I would be VERY interested in this - can you
let me know a price? Manchester is not a problem as I have a friend
who lives in Hyde.

Cheers,

Matt

P.S

You can try emailing me if you would prefer!
