If it comes with the entire manual, that's a better deal than $25 for the manual alone. This appears to be the kind of 'controller' board where there is a legacy market and the vendor takes the long-term approach of keeping it commercial for a LONG time. MicroMint still wants $499 for a new BCC-180.
