Subject: [ComputerVoltageSources] Re: PSIM replacement

From: Jason Proctor <jason@...>

i will commit to buying at least one PSIM replacement PCB set.

i have no layout skills but i have decent thru-hole building skills.
in the unlikely event that the construction is putting off people
from buying the PCBs, i can help a bit there.

(i have a little time for building, but not much justification for
extending my system.)
