#125937 - then why
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Can't be that hard

Then why do those that make such stuff get $500+ for $10 worth of hardware? e.g. Needhams is (used to be?) just a small lose circuit board

In things sold to engineers, there seems to be a relation between markup (price/components) relative to whether it "Can't be that hard" to make your own.

ALSO most manufacturerrs today will only release (non-ISP) "burning" specs to authorized programmer manufacturers.

One contact told me that the reason for that is all the hardship/harrasment the kitchen table programmer 'manufacturers' have given them.
