(...) According to their FAQ they can't accept orders for shipment outside of Canada. This is also supported by the fact that you have to enter a Canadian provence to proceed to step 2 of the checkout process. Bummer. Know any Canadians? Dave (25 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Well, the print ad I'm looking at has the RDS priced at $267.99 (after $30 rebate) CDN. I assumed they swapped the prices on the two sets, since the RDS is at the lower end of the spectrum. I didn't check the pricing of the RDS online though. -- (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Is it a goof? According to their site, they are knowingly setting a $150 discount on the regular $297.99 price. This seems too good to be true. I'm going to order a couple to see if it works...does anybody want in on this from the States? It works (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I don't know if there has been a retraction printed as of yet, but FutureShop stores in Ont, NB, NS, PEI, and NLFD should have the RIS for $147.99 CDN with an additional $30 rebate. I just checked the website and the price is good there too. (URL) (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

This is a modestly easy task, if you use a telephone cord untangler. I have "modified" a number of these to make 4 wire rotating connections, typically for feeding through the large turntable. By carefully cutting the metal part, you can turn 2x4 (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
