This weekend being a long one here in the US, I think I'm either going to
work on an 1802 "COSMAC" kit or an "Altaid" kit. Both were purchased from Lee
Hart, and the first step is checking that I have all of the parts, which I
believe I do.

I have built one of Lee's kits previously, the Z80 Membership Card, but I
took a little bit different route this time. For the Z80 kit, I bought the
whole kit including all of the needed parts. For the 1802 and Altaid kits, I
decided to source most of the parts myself. I strongly regret that decision
and would very much recommend against it. Lee has all of the parts at his
disposal and tracking them all down myself was a huge pain in the backside.

Jeff.
