reason
hi marty,
i can tell you the reason. since i am familiar with ATmega chips i "might be" able to build the electronics with such microchips. i know it is a cheap and dirty way to do it and by far not a altair8800 but technically possible to built the whole elctronics with one or two chips such as an ATmega 128 or ATmega 32.
of course i would prefer building one with original components, no queston about that but i am loosing confident that i EVER will be able to find all the parts for a kit. as you said.... grant is not interested in doing more kit's which i understand. if it is to expensive and the demand is little, why should he do that? another thing is, i am without work at the moment (going thru chemotheraphy battling cancer) so i am surerly unable to purchase a full kit. but parts by parts might be possible. and you already told me you have sold everything....
cheers
randy
