The quick question is: Does anybody have any suggestions on a cheap, easy
to use single board prototyping computer.  The one I really like is the
BCC BASIC-52 computer from the August 1985 Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar. It
has a built in EPROM programmer and initially starts up on my terminal.
I'm not sure if it's still available or if there might be some newer and
posibly cheaper things in the last 5 years.  If you have any ideas, please
let me know.


The specifications for the interface I am going to add to this board are
listed below.  If you have any ideas on these too, I'd also be very
gratefull.

Input:
	Wind speed (probably 1-5kHz frequency counter)
	Wind direction (probably just switches)
		Above must be optically isolated (i.e. against lightning)
		I have very little idea of how to do this yet.
	Telepone ring indicator
Output:
	Speech Synthesizer to telephone line
	Hang up

It would also be nice if I could get it to turn itself on and off
only when the telephone rings.

Thanks.

Eric.
