I will look at micro4you.com tomorrow. $40 is not bad. Not sure how he does it for that price (2x 40 pins ZIF sockets in there too).. I have to see what shipping is from Thialand. Then I go, $70 from Tialand (or less and wait), $99 from Olimex (built and done), or drill Bill's board I have
I have a laptop. That would be cool if I was mobile, bored at the office, play with pics.
But with the Atmel STK500 (serial), home automation (serial), P16PRO40 (parallel), laser printer (parallel), etc.. Maybe USB is not a bad idea.
