Hi There,
The ebay seller that I mentioned earlier still appears to have > 160
pieces of MN3005 available for approx $100 per 10 pieces , but I have
no idea how reliable this source will prove to be.

I would really love to see this module become available in this
version.

Best regards from Amsterdam,
Joost
