Has anyone seen this? Looks interesting for $80

I keep almost ordering that, then remembering I have a lot on my plate right now and probably don't need another project. 

Then I almost order it again.

I honestly think I'd go for it, no-questions, if it had a Z80.

I like the Z80 Membership card.  It had some minor issues with the opto isolator originally used, but I found a suitable replacement and got it all working right.  I have two units, one with all three boards, and the other with just two board, for a more compact size.

Hi, 

I've thought about these tiny board kits too since I have both a Z80 CPU and an RCA 1802 chip in my stash of chips.  

I probably should buy a set of boards, but I've been waiting for something larger to build with the chips ... I'd like to build a Retro Elf if I could just buy the kit or a similar set of boards that fit into a COTS cabinet ... something about the same size as the Altair-Duino Pro.

The replacement optocoupler I used was a PC817 IIRC.  I need to dig my notes out from a few years ago.
