I'm the listmember who can cut down this 70mm film (HIE OR EIR) if
anyone is interested.  I only sell it in bulk rolls though.  I don't
have the time to roll it up on 120/220 rolls.

I posted this a few weeks ago and only one person has bought a bulk
roll of HIE from me.  I guess there isn't a big demand.  Or maybe
people don't want to go through the hassle of loading it onto 120/220
spools themselves.  

The first roll of HIE I shot with my Medium Format camera had the pin
hole problem.  However, I switched to Xtol for development and a
distilled water presoak and the problem has almost vanished.  On my
last roll of HIE I only had three or four pinholes, and they were on
only one frame. However, IT IS STILL A PROBLEM, and I dont' know
exactly what causes it. For now I'm sticking to a distilled water
presoak and using distilled water for all my chemicals. Hopefully
Kodak will be able to fix this.
