1. Try Train-IT. I've used these guys before (ask for Mark!) and they're
polite and friendly. Unfortunately, I don't have their contact info to
hand.
2. Try DCB. I've had mixed experiences with them, which is why they're
#2. They're listed on the ILUG hardware page, funnily enough.
Both are registered Compaq suppliers, so even if they don't have 'em in
stock, they should be able to order the bits for you.
dabs.com are also able to supply compaq kit more-or-less on demand, but
they're in the UK so factor in sterling conversions and shipping.
Cheers,
Waider.
