Just a note: unpopular books take *forever* to turn up on P2P searches,
so be prepared to let your search run for days.

Cool.

I am interested in learning MIPS assembly, and would like to get a nice
board or machine to play with.  $75 for the Z80 board you have is not
too bad.  MIPS, despite being RISC, isn't really that hard, at least not
so far.

Are you going to mount it in a case and use drives, or are you just
going to use it as more of a trainer?
