I am intrigued by the quality of the Cloud9 DOS Adapter while looking
at it in the pdf manual.  What you did to get it as low as you could
is amazing and looks like a lot of work.  I personally just need an
adapter to fit an Extended Basic ROM in place on my CoCo 1 so space is
not at a premium.  If I just wanted to get it done I would have bought
a DOS Adapter from you and have you burn me a chip but that's not me.
I'm looking ahead to the next two, three or maybe four computers and
am using the situation as a learning experience.  I try to save money
when I can but in the long run its just a wash but at least I had fun
doing it.  I'm just happy we have people like you supporting our
passion when we need you.  I know its a given that we will do business
in the future.
