OK Adrian. Just let me know if any are coming my way to try.
I'm not desperate to upgrade. Yet.

I think so, and I think the listing was withdrawn for a while but then reappeared so I presume whatever the problems were they were overcome.
(Haven't investigated for a while though)
Edit: Just looked and he's currently selling at £22 inc P&P. Might try one.

It was too tempting, so I did and it arrived just now. Accepted OK by the RNS-D but I won't be testing it "on the road" for a couple of days.

Adrian, very happy to help with your testing if you're still doing that.

He is curiously inconsistent with his pricing! I think oneof us paid £25 (the stated asking price) another made an offer of £20 which was accepted, I offered the same and was refused and ended up paying £25 too.

However, disk is fine, no glitches so far.

Same here, and that was including P&P.

I have the ozzycam disc, made offer of 13.99 including postage which was accepted. Not got the disc working yet, but I think that's because the RNS-D has a dirty laser. Need to find time to remove the top cover and give the lens a clean.
