Some how I am thinking your opinions might be a tad bit biased....Hi cdngunner,
If you (or anybody) have questions about any of my PC boards, you can email me (Ron@JRHackett.net), and I'll be happy to answer them.

Yes, I have a half-dozen or more each of the 08-sip and 14-sip boards, and find them very convenient for quick tests. I don't use the 10-pin programming cable. I solder in a 3-pin header which includes serin and serout, and then solder-bridge the 0V pin to the pin next to it. Then I can use the 3-pin programming cable which I use on breadboards (with a servo cable to link male to male)--or solder in a 3-socket female header.
