[DSP-10] EZKit-Lite

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 10:20:49 -0700

Hi Group,

I have been "sitting on the fence" regarding building the dsp-10 kit.

I checked Newark for availability of the ADDS-21xx-EZLITE and
they showed 70 (now 69) and I ordered one at the $105 plus change.
Simultaneously I ordered the dsp-10 kit.

Bob L  - thanks for your hard work on this project.. Your support is
one reason I am joining.

Good luck to those wanting the ADDS kit.
