The SC/MP is finally alive!

I used to do a lot of building.. Alas it's technically illegal now in the UK. The idiot government decided that the EU EMC directives should apply to 1-offs, prototypes, and experimental designs. Now I don't have a screened room to do the tests, I certainly can't predict the RF behaviour of one of my designs without doing the tests (and I don't think anyone else could either). Oh well... Fortunately this law doesn't seem to be enforced unless you deliberatley make a radio transmitter and use it to interfere with something. More serious is the fact that getting the necessary chips are getting very hard to get now. More modern 'replacements' seem to come either in difficult-to-handle BGA packages (SMD is not a worry for me) or need expensive programmings tools. Fortunately my junk box is still well stocked bujt that won't last for ever. YEs, I still build stuff. Mostly interfaces, add-ons, little microcontroller boards, etc. I guess I should build a complete computer system again, just for fun... -tony
