256MB CFC for Repeater/128MB for sale

[David Myers <dmgraph@earthlink.net>]

Been off the list for a while now, but just ducking in momentarily with 
some
pertinent Repeater info.

I bought a 256MB CFC for the Repeater and it would not work properly.  I
received the following response from Electrix:

Mine was indeed a 40414.  I suggested to Jason that they should consider
getting me a replacement, since it seems to be their engineering 
problem--no
response.  However, I sent this email to SimpleTech and they were princes
about it, immediately replacing my card.  So if anyone has problems, go to
SimpleTech directly, for sure.  Good for them!

Now, I purchased a 128MB card to tide me over the 256 trouble and no longer
find I need it.  Any Repeater owners who want a barely used 128MB card for
$50 shipped, please email me directly.  I paid $80 plus tax locally (NYC).
Again, email me directly--the volume of mail over LD is what made me
retreat...
