i've always thought these would be good for kids in school teaching them with a proper keyboard and fairly indestructible. got an nc100 for a friend years ago cheap and she loved that on a summer day she could sit in a park and work for hours with no problems.
- fuzzix 15y agoI got an NC100 from a friend of mine and I (hopefully just) blew a fuse by connecting the wrong power supply. I must get it up and running again - the z88dk[1] compiler supports it. It also makes a serviceable portable serial terminal. [1] http://www.z88dk.org/ http://www.z88dk.org/
- wgx 15y agoOh man, when I was 8 years old I wanted a Z88 but it didn't happen. I might try to get hold of one to play with.
- asolove 15y agoI would love to get one of these for my son to learn to program on. Ebay shows a number of them available for parts but none in working order. Does anybody know how to get a working one? I would be happy to pay someone for parts and time.
