I'm sorry that some of you have had problems finding the discontinued
Mod 100 DVI's.  I haven't seen this sales brochure, but it sounds pretty
reasonable to me.  I would expect that a "Where-is-as-is Sale" would mean
that the items in question are in short supply, and that certainly is the
case here.  I checked into this and found that not only are the DVI's
discontinued, but the warehouses are already out of stock.

In the past, I've been able to find hard to find items by asking a Radio
Shack store manager to see if he could find one for me.  They have always
been helpful.  Usually they contact their district manager and he checks
the store inventories in his district for the item.  Unfortunately, I don't
know if they still do this.  It's been a few years...

But, on the bright side, I found eleven Disk Video Interfaces in a Computer
Center here in Fort Worth.  The salesman I spoke with said  they would
be more than happy to ship them to customers.  I don't know what shipping
will cost you.  But, if you want one, you better hurry. 
Their telephone number is (817) 335-7198.
Address:   230 One Tandy Center, Fort Worth, Texas  76102.

Let me know how it went.
