Fred:

I hate to ask, but is this the FL4 option that is available with the
Calibur???

We have that option, but it is currently in a box as I haven't had any
users with a pressing desire to use FL4.  So for the last year, in the
box is where it has been.

I get the feeling this is a common occurence with these diode lasers?

Puzzled,
David
