Ordering Information
Introduction
The objective of my web site is to foster tinkering. In my mind, this is the way people learn best.
Please note that proceeds from sales are used to buy additional stock, but more importantly, to buy equipment for development of the material on this web site and to pay students to develop material. Sadly, much of the web has become nothing more than a shopping cart with no development overhead. Please consider buying from vendors who not only sell, but also are striving to advance the craft.
My only advertising is word of mouth.
Please note that I am not in a position to do consulting.
Notes.
Shipping to the US and to Canada are calculated by my PayPal account based on the amount of the order.
This is $1.95 and up. Usually less than $5.00. You can see amount for shipping
change as you add items to your cart. Canada is a bit more expensive than the US.
I also ship to
Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Denmark, South Africa, Austria,
Iceland, Greenland, United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, France, Israel, Netherlands, Norway,
Finland, Luxembourg. The amount is calculated by my PayPal account.
I do not ship to other places such as Africa and South or Central America.
Consider using SkyBox in Miami.
PayPal will add 6 percent sales tax for Maryland residents.
There is a $10.00 minimum on all orders.

PC Parallel Port
Note that these books were developed prior to the popularity of Windows and one could actually
run DOS and there was only one type of parallel port (now termed SPP). All routines were written
using Borland's TurboC Version 2.0 for DOS and I still use this old compiler in teaching as it is simple,
has a good debugger and will run on any PC. This is now available for free download at Borland Community. Click on "Museum".
I have no plans to update these books for Windows.
Although the platform, a PC running DOS with a Stnadard Parallel Port, may not be as practical as it once was,
these books offer a wealth of information in interfacing with the real world. Indeed, they were written for a Parallel
Port, but one might argue that a port is a port, whether it be a 8051, 68HC11, PIC, BX24 or Basic Stamp.

Miscellaneous Kits
Wireless Breadboard Prototyping
- Wire Bundle - 22 AWG solid, tinned. Includes three feet each of four colors; red and black and
one light color (yellow or white) and one dark color (green or blue). This wire is ideal for solderless breadboards.
Solid copper tends to break leaving a breadboard hole plugged. (Note this is about 3 feet each.
In fact, it is measured as 4-1/2 wraps around my hand which has proven to be pretty close.)
Note that this is included with most of our kits. $0.75.
