Just what is it you are going to do for yourself with products where no parts,
manuals, or training are offered except to the priviledged few, where the ones
that are offered are in the kilobuck price range (run a D&B on the customer
before going out), where you have to go out with complete board sets JIC, where
any diagnostics require a computer, special interface, and special software? We
were involved in that sort of stuff in the past but only when the principal
agreed to set us up at no cost. Of course you have to give everything back if
the contract ends.
