Wanted to let everyone know I've received the chip from Karine Akeman. She responded to my many EMails on November 30th saying the chip was in the mail and apologizing for the delay and unresponsiveness which were due to some personal problems. She even included a second, different chip worth approximately $8. So, all is well. However, I'm not sure what is going on because both EBay user names--angels collecting and bandkdiscounts show up as no longer registered with EBay.
