take a look at Ray's Robotic Computer. i have a url somewhere. This
dude makes a 68HC11 mini board in modules from his basement.
Completely assembled and tested versions too.

I found him through altavista a couple of times

...and I'm really starting to think that one of these would be a great
addition to my LEGO collection.  Before I drool miles of drool, I have some
questions...

* How different (or similar) are the Hitachi H8/300 and the Motorola 68HC11
CPU and I/O architectures?

* Is there any firmware for the Handy Board which allows it to run RCX Code
or NQC programs?  That is, software for the Handy Board which emulates the
default RCX bytecode-interpreter firmware?

* Is anyone considering adding Handy Board support to legOS?

* Is anyone considering adding legOS support to Handy Board?

* Is Handy Board a whole separate world, or is it slowly converging with the
RCX world (among adult enthusiasts online)?
