[Mahler Willi <Willi.Mahler@icn.siemens.de>]

> Hello everybody,
> we are designing a PCI Board with full legth for ISA assembly and we like
> to use the ISA retainer mentioned in PCI Spec. Rev. 2.2. I know that one
> supplier is GOMPF and I tried to buy the retainers (9109-0000AFG) but I
> got the following answer:
> 
> These parts are "proprietary" to another company and we are unable to sell
> them to anyone other than them. We would be happy to re-tool someth8ing
> quite similar for you but it is in your best financial interest to order
> another retainer that we are already tooled for. Tooling for injected
> monlded part runs upwards of $3,000 - $4,000.

> My question is now, do anybody know where I can buy the ISA retainers? I
> think it should be possible to buy them of the shelf.
