- I've been using mine quite a bit - there are a ton of things you can do
- with this little guy if you use your imagination. The system comes with
- schematics, and I believe the software is available on the Moto BBS. Of
- course, we would need some way to program the MC68HC705J2 that is part of
- the system. I would be interested in a system to do that anyway!
-
- I'm not sure about the details - for example if you are really "allowed" to
- grab the P&E front-end and simulator software without buying the kit.

- One problem for now, though. You simply can't get the chips! I have had
- my order moved from 9/18 to sometime in October! I ordered them at the end
- of June. I WELCOME FLAMES STATING SOMETHING LIKE "You're crazy, you can
- get scads of them from XYZ". I'm sure if I'm wrong, the net.brutal.animals
- will let me know!
-
- Many distributors don't even carry them yet. I'm sure these problems will
- go away once they've been around awhile.
