Dear Dennis,

I am dreaming of a Token Ring hub 19” rack unit thingy – you know, the box what screws into the racks – Token Ring hub – you don’t need them any more at the factory as you use Ethernet so you must have one for the skip – come on bloke, send me one eh? Eh? I need it to run my temperature controller in my shed – it couldn’t handle the 42 degrees today and popped. You used to tinker with Maplin Electronics didn’t you? I have one of their K8000 and K8001 units controlling the temperature and two stepper motors for my solar panel to make it “chase the sun”. It also looks after the door lock on the shed and the lighting and the external garden light system and cat intrusion alarms. So you see how desperate this is Dennis. Come on just one of the old Token Ring boxes eh? Eh? Eh?
