That's interesting.  Isn't that cheaper than buying the camera in the case?

One thing I had to do, since I epoxied a film can to the outside of the case, was to epoxy flat 

plastic sheets to the case because the case is dished in front, and the dish is not centered on 

the ccd, so the film can wasn't coaxial with the chip.  

I probably won't buy a new lens mount for that camera, since I want a newer camera and 

bought a multi-camera/single computer lisence.  But if I do buy a new fire-i, I think I'll buy a 

board camera and then a case separately, then use the mogg adapter I bought for use with 

the ToUcam and the 3com (actually the one I have wasn't made by mogg).
