    a great board that allows you to create a Y-cable so that you can connect two modules to the computer. Other than that is perfect for testing because you have control over all of the 'special signals from de control bus.

    Great value multi-purpose pcb

    These make a very useful addition to the development toolkit. Further possibilities are gained by soldering on some pin headers, allowing easy attachment of logic probes or prototype circuits. Well worth considering for prototype work in addition to the advertised features.
