Dave,
He's probably a starving student like we were at one time and doesn't
have
a
lot of disposable cash. And beer is expensive.
I sent him the "free" simulator. An ET-3400A un-built kit just sold
for
$355
on Ebay ! The " A" has 1024 bytes of RAM vs 256.
I think your price is off by about a factor of 10 based on what I've
seen.
If you find one that cheap ( $10 - $20 ) I'll buy
it !
Best regards, Steven
I believe the premium for this particular deal was its un-built state.
The ET-3400 is common and inexpensive. I think I'll go buy one myself,
since I have a fondness for them since my freshman college course used
one.
I find any un-built Heathkit has significantly more value.
