[NTLK] The piMate 300

[Forrest]

Michael:

I am also the proud owner of a 3400c. At present I am in need of the CD module that interchanged with the floppy drive module.

Would you be willing to part with yours—if you still have it—at a reasonable price?

Please contact me off-list.

Mahalo,
Forrest
