[sdiy] PSA: Archives for Yahoo Groups

[Ben Stuyts]

Mattias,

Great work! There are many in your list that I do not have. Can you send me one of those (a smaller one) off-list, so I can check if it’s compatible with our conversion scripts?

I would be chuffed to (analog) bits if we could put all those up.

Thanks,
Ben
