Does anyone know when 8448 (Auto Chassis V) will be in stores? Also, I visited the Toy Site in Waltham MA this week. That's a really cool store. They have the largest selection in stock of any store I've seen. Maybe I'll mail-order the big stuff (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

The clock speed on the Handy Board runs at 2 Mhz, which is plenty fast enough for most things IF you run the right code.
