hello grant,

yes, i see that point and i agree. but i also see the point
that many original designs are unavailable now, because
the original manufacturers had gone. also you cannot re-invent
everything, especially when the old design was great. in the
past it was often the case that customers requested an re-issue
of a certain module and AFTER that the manufacturer said
"ok, i'll sell this module, if everybody wants it".
so the customers decided that in the first place.

best wishes

ingo
