Leonardos revenge

Post by Brutus »

These days obviously everybody want's to get rid of his Leonardo units..?
Four units at the same time on eBay is third place, catching up closely to the unbeatable leading duo MMII and CC7 !!

Do not understand German. Are they in working conditions? Which module they have?

Looks like they are all in working condition, some of them missing the AC/DC power supply. All of them are without any module, they just use the Leonardo default "built in" program. You'd have to buy the module seperately if you need a stronger opponent or want another program. Take care, not every module e.g. the Sparc is supported in the Leonardo.

I was in the first beta tests of the Leonardo .
These first beta test Leonardo's were not made from real wood.
I think, when I remember it right the beta test group paid 350 dm for each unit.
The machine was a sensation at its time due to the interface with the PC or home computer.
What seems like a fairy tale today may be reality tomorrow.
Here we have a fairy tale of the day after tomorrow....
