Just a few words of warning here:
1. 12MHZ 80286s don't exist (although Intel has said "soon").
2. 10MHZ 80286s are about $300.00
3. This machine, when completely configured, costs as much as an 8MHZ
clone.
4. Building a machine like this requires (unless you get the
pre-assembled board) some equipment (logic probe, oscilliscope).
5. The fact that it uses 1MBit chips is impressive yes, but they are
still $60.00 each.
6. Even if you get the board from them, you still need the IC's. They
sell those extra - another $100.00
It would be a great experience if you can deal with the frustrations (if you
decide to assemble it, $30.00 for the tech manual is a MUST.)
