I seem to recall having a roll of MAX232s around here somewhere. I also recall having 25 or so of the hard-to-find Altera CPLDs in a tray, a box of the QL connectors (I don't remember M or F) and assortments of other SMD components and etc. These were bought for Nasta's aborted Goldfire project. If any of this stuff is any use to anyone, let me know and I'll dig it out.
