Hmmmmm...

I know vinyl is making a comeback, maybe floppy disks are too. :)

    Wow, that brings back memories. The BS2 was the first MCU I ever purchased from TechAmerica locally. Ah the good old days.

    Free shipping and handling unless you pick it up directly, then it's $10

    I started my BS1 career in 1995 with this floppy disk and spiral bound book. And that's my 1995 BS2 book version 0.94 ! Still used & treasured nearly 20 years later. :)

    I estimate that this kit is from 1996, and erco's kit is from 1995.

    Oops, my bad. My BS1 book, floppy & parallel cable are 1994. I used it in the first-ever Trinity Firefighting Robot Contest, and my First Place certificate is hanging on the wall dated April 1994. The BS2 book is 1995, bought for the next year's contest.

    I have a VHS videotape from that contest. Gonna Youtube it someday.

    Edit: Floppy label reads 1993
