Jesper,

FWIW, there are some very good discrete-based clones of the SSM2040 
filter and the SSM2044 chip is still available. Just hard to find 
and then to pay for when you do!

Parts in the SDS3 are no longer standard or cheapo. But it is 
doable; and for some that is enough to reason to do so. 

Anybody know where to find Dave Simmons or Business records of sales 
and aquisitions? 

Thank you for sharting what you know,

Randal
