I tried to buy a 6502 pod from them a while ago. When the tech
tried to test the unit before they shipped it, there was a problem,
they couldn't get the unit to work. They supposedly had two units
that wouldn't work and offered them to me for $50 each, saying
that the two could be combined to get one working unit.
Hmmm, sounded like a sweet deal. The two pods showed up
without the pod-to-9010A cables and without one 40-pin UUT
cable. Ah well.

or sell? ***

They DID locate a Z80 pod for me somewhere but the asking
price was $250, a little different from the listed $125. I passed
on it and got one another way.

We've been 'hoist by our own petard' here. The prices on Ebay are
a direct result of all the talk on this V*list about this equipment. I
was able to snag a 9101 with a 68000 pod 3 weeks ago ONLY
because it was in a strange category and nobody here saw it.
