I don't know if the same person that designed the ZRT-80 (Bill White) did the RAM boards or not. But, if so, the RAM boards are probably pretty solid. I have built three ZRT-80's from kits. It's not a problem for someone who has built similar boards before, but the manuals are definitely not in the same category as those from Heathkit. The instructions for the ZRT-80 kit are three pages long. One of the things I like about dealing with DRC is that, in the case of the ZRT-80 board, they make the software source code available on a disk for a reasonable price. Also, the manual includes a nice writeup on how to use it and how it works. My only beef is that they always quote 2 weeks delivery, and they mean it. I don't know if they sit on the orders for two weeks or if they are always two weeks behind, but they deinitely do not ship your order the next day. (maybe they are just very organized?) If DRC had something that I wanted I would definitely give them an order. Jim Potter jp@lanl.arpa
