AVR butterfly - available anywhere?

[rowan194]

I must have been hiding under a rock because I've only just heard of
the AVR butterfly, even though I found some press releases from 2003.
Is it still available?

Does anyone besides RS Components sell them? List price is $US20 and
RS want $AUD93.60 for it !!!

Hi Rowan,

Looks like my previous message was sent to your email instead of being
posted here.

Anyway, http://smileymicros.com/ seems to be the 'standard' place to
buy butterflies and the Butterfly++ Mini-Kit looks good.

Smiley has a nice (and fun) intro article here

Also, along with the other downloads Smiley have I'd recommend this
program for anyone playing with serial comms...
