I recently called arcom and they discontinued the
offer for the 40% discount. They emailed me with a quote for $970 for the ViperLite. There are other boards out there (try www.microcontroller.com) that
are 1/3 the price or lower that offer more features but remember they are not the same board referred in the book.

    Yes, the price has skyrocketed. Someone has posted an errata to O'Reilly.

    I spoke with Arcom/Eurotech (5/20/08) and they emailed a quote. The Viper-Lite dev kit lists for $997 and the 40% discount brings it to $598.

    (Contact phone number in book is correct...email link on their web page isn't)
