I'm on a desperate hunt for just nine modules to finish a job already<br>
started. My supplier failed to deliver on their promise, and my backups<br>
don't have any unallocated.<br>
<br>
If anyone has some or where I can get them, please contact me off list.<br>
<br>
I foresee this as a problem with many items as we approach year end.<br>
