End of life and on clearance for $25. Was there no love for this little unit? Anyone have any experiences good or bad to relate?

Why should I snap one up? Easy to interface to PC apps? It says "adds a user-defined function to your PC", but no sample code as such on that page.

In an unrelated story, MAN how I miss the BS1 Project Board back when it was $14.99 ! I'm surrounded by a dozen projects all build around those boards.

    It's a gem of a product! I bought one when I first saw the End of Life notice and I am very happy with it. It should however be noted that the communinication available is one-way. The only stamp to PC communication available is debug; it will send the entire ROM up the programing cable.

    In short: BUY ONE! If nothing else, you can use it to put a big red button on your desk that blinks a light.
