I have recently started to study microprocessor fundamentals and have been
trying to find this simulator. Would it be possible for you to send me a
copy of it if you still have it.
Kind Regards

This may seem like a dumb question, but...why not just get a real
ET-3400? They go for $10-20 on eBay all day long.

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

Only if you buy beer. You can brew
it at home alot cheaper.
You can save you money for GAS so you can pick up the great deals
found on a moments notice. Pick up in the next 3 hours or it goes
to the DUMPSTER.

I haven't looked, but this makes me feel pretty good at having picked mine up
for only $20 some years back. :-)

Unbuilt Heathkits go for huge amounts of money no matter what they
are. I'm assuming that the original poster wouldn't require an
unbuilt one, as he was originally only looking for an emulator. But,
I'll back up my statement of pricing with a factual account: I've
purchased three of them (all "A" variants) over the past five years
or so on eBay. The most expensive one cost me about $30 including
shipping. I sold one of them on eBay in 2006 for $16.00.

I beg to differ;
Jan 30, 2008 Item 120214663994 ET-3400-A $74.99
Feb 3, 2008 Item 270207340050 ET-3400 $43.29
Feb 5, 2008 Item 150212743502 ET-3400-A $39.95
Feb 6, 2008 Item 120217168250 ET-3400-A $74.99

Feb 11, 2008 Item 120219733413 ET-3400 $74.99
Yes the un-built kits go for even more then these.
Best regards, Steven

Good heavens, I wish I'd waited to sell one of mine. Why have the
prices on these gone sky-high in the past year or two??

Dave,
I'm in the same boat, I let mine go way too cheap ! If I had known the
price was going up that much I would have waited longer....
I don't know why the prices have gone up so much. Maybe a perceived shortage
?
I have the same Simulator that's on your webpage. I sent a copy of mine to
Daniel. Thanks for the info.
Best regards, Steven

That's very odd indeed. They were dirt cheap for so long!

That was Dave Dunfield, not me, FYI.

I don't know if it's the one you are looking for, but I do have an ET-3400
simulator posted on my site: www.classiccmp.org/dunfield
Go to the "Download Simulators and Emulators" link near the bottom, and
look in the "Other" section toward the bottom of that page.
