They aren=E2=80=99t in mint condition, and they require running 20 year =
old software and serial ports to run out of the paper box.

I wouldn=E2=80=99t torture a newbie with kits that are missing pieces, =
etc.  Someone did that to me when I tried to get the original MIT kit =
going years ago, and it wasted a lot of time.

I think I=E2=80=99d rank these more as =E2=80=9Cspare parts=E2=80=9D =
than =E2=80=9Ccomplete functioning kits=E2=80=9D.
