I'll have to sell something and go buy it then. I am concerned their
tech reference is not for Rev1.
A helpful suggestion is that I found this place:
http://www.maxipub.com/electro/microcontrollers.html
They're selling BCC-180 boards used for $90 and say " Each board comes
with instruction manual and software (if needed)". 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.
Basic Z80 thing. OK, this case a Z180 but that cpu is one of the
legends of the controls industry.
