I'll vouch for the efficacy of the Fascinating Electronics board. I got one years ago after reading the series in Electronics Now/Radio-Electronics using it as a weather monitor. It works fine connected to an HP48 calculator for control of I/O as (...) (25 years ago, 19-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) How about the Dacta doors and window set? It might be a better deal. (I'm not sure of the actual piece counts....) And you can always sell off the other pieces... maybe someone's looking for a bunch of doors. :) (25 years ago, 19-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
