RE: ISA Retainer for PCI Card

[Lame Brooks-G14738 <Brooks_Lame@mcg.mot.com>]

Willi, it seems to me that whoever you are talking to at GOMPF does not
understand what you really want.  I suggest you fax GOMPF a copy of the ISA
retainer drawing from the PCI Spec, explain that it is from the open,
non-proprietary PCI Specification, that you would like to know if GOMPF has
a part available that meets this requirement, and if so, you would like to
purchase some.
