Yes, I remember that discussion. The main point was that parts+shipping would be almost the current net20dc price+shipping. My apologies if you felt shot down, that surely was not intentional. > I still can't justify the price, when a serial cable works just as good. > Same here. I still hope we can somehow abuse the Geode CS5536 chip to act as a debug device. That would probably be cheaper than building a NET20DC from scratch, especially because Geode based boards can be had rather cheap on ebay.
