And what pisses me off, is that several people on the DIY list (some of which
may be on the MOTM list too) would've liked to see Paul make a module such as
this many moths ago but realized how busy he was and what a boutique module
this would be. So a few bright/talented people (and me too) started to work
on a DIY co-op of this module WITH JH's permission, but it seemed to die out
at the breadboard stage (it's a huge circuit). We really appreciated JH's
help in getting as far as we did, and I for one hope that all those who
participated in that DIY project will resist the temptation to purchase one
of these.
Happy to wait for the MOTM version!
