It went together in about 10 hours. Only the floppy disk controller card required soldering. The motherboard and video board were pre-assembled and tested. I had no problems, everything worked the first time. I bought the kit from my local Heathkit dealer. A friend of mine bought one with me, so we got a 10% discount for two. Heathkit also offers discounts (10 or 20%) to Heath Users Group members. You can ask at any Heathkit store about membership, I think it runs $10 or $15 per year. I know of no discount houses that sell the kit computers. I hear that the H150 and H160 computers are very IBM compatible, for about $1000 savings. If compatibility is important to you, these are good buys. The H100 has better graphics, a S100 bus, and build in dual 8088 (16 bit) and 8085 (8 bit) microprocessors for about the same price, which makes it a better buy in my mind. -- Kenton Lee, Bell Labs - WB wb3g!kfl or hoxna!kfl
