Craig,

I'm puttin= g some things together to send to you. Besides the Z8s I have some other ch= ips you may want. I have a large number (about 20) of 8741. With that numbe= r I thought it might make a good project board that could be shared with th= e community.=C2=A0

6116 Sta= tic RAM - 200ea.

1820-= 2376=C2=A0 -=C2=A0 some HP mystery chip.=C2=A0 -=C2=A0 35ea.<= /p>
