Yeah, toobs. I really screwed the pooch on that one, too. Didn't buy enough, when the prices where low. :o(
~1990, I started using the HC05 microcontroller. The evaluation board, which could be used as an emulator/debugger/programmer cost $500, and I thought that was a bargain price ! I had used earlier systems that cost in excess of $10,000 ! Even by 2000, a reprogrammable HC05-C8 (UV window) cost ~$50. Now, you can get in the game with ISPs for ~$35, and parts under a buck !
