[Coco] Very interesting eBay find... anyone ever seen one of these kits?

[Rob Rosenbrock]

I have one. Looks just like the pictures since I never assembled it; only looked through the instructions.

Not much to it, actually. The book just has you stuffing the board with no discussion of how the computer actually works.

At some point in history, one of the stores out of Dallas was selling these off. I found out about it and ordered mine. Don't remember how much I paid for it, but it wasn't near that price. Could've been $29?

I do believe there was just a limited run of them.
