[rescue] [FWIW] RaSCSI

[Peter Stokes]

Hi

I decided to order 2 off of the 40 pin versions which are currently en route.
I bought the unassembled version as happy to solder stuff. I will report back
on how successful they are with the Voyager.

The person I bought from was Jacob from Androda. There was an issue re
shipping to the U.K. as he does not normally due to the new VAT rules relating
to small purchases changing if shipping for outside of the U.K. I am VAT
registered in the U.K. which means he does not have to get involved, so was
happy to ship to me.
