I would appreciate any information (product and/or experience) on do-it-
yourself computer kits designed around 808X -type chips (or other microcomputer
versions).

My approach would be towards using the kit as an introductory course to
computer architecture / hardware and assembly progarmming for innocent
kids without extensive computer backgrounds.

SPECTRUM Sept '88 had the Micro-Master (R) from C & S Sales in Deerfield, IL
featured in page 66F.  Any comments on this kit would also be helpful.
(8085 microprocessor, Model MM-8000)

Thanks!
