[sdiy] where to get 3M Scotchflex sockets and strips?

[Doug Jackson]

That is a beautiful prototype system.

Just as an aside, it looks like your prototypes suffer from the same issue
mine do - they lose their 1488 and 1489 chips to the sands of time as other
projects need them.   :-)

Kindest regards,
