      Expected Ship Date: 08/16/2012      Expected Ship Quantity: 1 
Final Expected Ship Date: 08/16/2012


They dinged me pretty hard on shipping and tax. $47.78 out the door. 
Apparently Newark is a division of Farnell now.

We'll see if their web site that said 141 days or their purchase order is 
right. Five weeks wouldn't be so bad.

I saw where someone has already done a SNES port so it has enough horse 
power to do anything I would ask of it. I'm maybe 80% sure I know where the 
Colleen/Droid 800 code is screwing up. Gawd awful, I am going to have to set 
up the tool chain and learn ARM assembler to make sure.

It does look like it could be a must have for an Atari hacker. Just about 
everything else costs $100+ to do anything worth while. This should be a 
Swiss Army Knife in that it could substitute for everything from being an 
emulator to SIO2SD to ATR8000 to XEP80.
