Yes, I'd be interested to cooperate with the sonology people. And we would
have the capacity to produce such staff. But after all it's not the question
if we could manage to manufacture a module but if there are sufficient
inquiries. It does not make sense to start a production if one has only a
couple of orders. To keep our price range the minimum quantity of a
production series is 100 pcs. We have a lot of ready designed modules but do
not release them because of the uncertain sales. Remember one has to
pre-finance the complete series incl. front panels, pc boards, electronic
parts, working time for assembly and so on. If one manufactures 100 units
but has only 30 orders it will be a loss (and we had indeed some such losses
in the past, e.g. the A-100CGK, A-138x, A-164-1 or A-186).

Please let me know how we could cooperate (please directly off list). Maybe
there is sufficient interest for one of the designs. For the time being we
will develop the tendency processor and see how many users are interested as
soon as the prototype is working.

Best wishes
