I've used a bunch of different ones and the one that I REALLY like is
the HP-5036 MicroProcessor lab. It's better built and organized than any
of the others and the course that comes with it is a LOT better. It
includes sections that teach how to use logic probes, pulsers, signature
analyzers, etc. Th other courses ignore all of that. I could list all of
the advantages of the 5036 but that would take a while. However I already a
web page about it at <
http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/hp5036.htm> It
has all the details and lots of pictures. The 5036 isn't cheap, the HP
collectors snap them up in a hurry when they show up, but it';s well worth
the cost IMO.
