Two points of clarification: 1. I'm looking for products / kits / etc., not
more books; 2., please send replies directly to me. :)
Thanks,
- Evan

And I can have them both for 32 bucks! I think there'll be an order placed
before the night's out :)

I'm glad I helped somebody ;)
I put these on my Christmas list actually for friends/family to get me this
year since they're simple.
I put an LA34 and VT100 on my list last year and it confused everyone, even
though I gave them where to get it.

I like the Semi Virtual Diskette.... its very similar to the SIO2PC
cable Atari users have been using for about 10 years now. Although the
SIO2PC allows you to also take control of a PC's serial modem and
parallel ports as well as its floppy, hard disk and networked drives.
I like the enigma kits too, pretty neat stuff.

I don't like it. I like stand alone products, rather than a PC.
The 8008's I still like because the components are few and easy to
home brew.
IMSAI is still busy on the S100 front. http://www.imsai.net/

Sadly, you can't believe much of what you see on that site...

Ah, you'd be surprised how many machines these days are instead provided with singing,
dancing, animated cursors and dialogue boxes. And isn't it a documented goal at
Microsoft to completely do away with 'legacy' features like serial and parallel
ports? I remember reading the 'PC 98' or somesuch spec from Microsoft and
thinking to myself that to 'upgrade' a motherboard to Microsoft's liking, you
get out a dykes and cut off all kinds of headers on the motherboard.
USB is supposed to save the world, etc. etc. Everything else must disappear.

I thought all windows machines connected to the internet pretty much
came with this as standard ;)
