This will be in kit form, but there will be no soldering involved and there will be very explicit instructions on assembly. The kit will not include a case or a power supply, although there will be recommendations for cases and for power supplies in the documentation (size of the power supply will depend upon the draw of the boards which are plugged into the bus). Zorro-1 expansion products can be used on the bus but will not fit inside the recommended case. This kit will probably the first DevKit From DevWare and the reason that I am posting this message is to try and get an idea of the interest in such a product. Pricing has not been determined, but is expected to be very competitive. Please respond by PRIVATE E-Mail, flames also, as I don't wish to clutter up the net. I will be happy to answer any questions about this kit. Expected availabilty is late September (possibly October). Additionally, we expect to have a memory expansion board (expandable to 16M) available at the same time. Other products are planned at a later date.
