One piece of test equipment that I do believe most people should own is the Retro Chip Tester. This little device is invaluable for testing Logic chips, SRAM. DRAM EProms and many
others. The price is not to unreasonable. For the RCT mainboard and Power converter board the price is 65 Euro's. For programming the ATMEL micro controller a small additional cost is involved. Slow mode shipping is around 12 euros. About 3 weeks to the US, Be advised that except for the ATMEL there are no parts installed. Although they do sell an assembled unit as well. If You want to assemble it yourself it can be tedious or have someone else do it for you. Highly recommended. figure total for parts at around $200.00 US
