This compares very favourably with the Gertboard which currently sells for <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.farnell.com\/jsp\/search\/productdetail.jsp?sku=2250034&amp;COM=embedded-link_RaspberryPiAccessories\">just under the \u00a340 mark on the Farnell website<\/a>. That Gertboard price does, of course, include assembly, but if (like me) you actually quite enjoy a bit of soldering then the Tandy board is very attractive.
