</span>FWIW, last I walked into Halted (HSC) (it has been<br>
at least a few weeks now) they still had a few HDPVR<br>
"guts" (bare PC board) in a cardboard box for (around)<br>
$15 each. At that price, it might be worth taking the<br>
plunge for a few if you need them (and are "local",<br>
I suspect shipping would ruin the good deal to some<br>
extent).<br>
