"I have a small (just me) mail order company through which I sell kits.
My starter products were kits for computer<->transceiver interfaces to go
along with my 2/93 QST article. Since, I have added a programmer kit for
the MC68HC705K1 microcontroller and an optoisolated stepper motor controller
kit. I also sell the PCBs and difficult parts for these projects."
