And with a few very minor changes: Colin had this reply blocked by the server due to bad content. Let's see if it lets me use whatever words it contains :-) Maybe it was the use of among instead of amongst ? :-) Or possible just the 'Brit (and NZ) spelling.

People like Rockby.com.au or BG Micro (US) etc might have some, it might also be worth checking a UK company that has a weird name that I've forgotten for the moment - they distribute Honeywell components among others - something like Electronics2000.co.uk - maybe some one here can sort of recognise the company - they don't advertise in the hobby magazines but occasionally in the ' trade ' press.
