Since I ran out of P112 kits last year, I've been asked multiple times to produce more. The critical thing in doing this is financing the project. So, I've set up a Kickstarter.com project to get things going. There are some differences in the kits this time round. The big one is that I'm no longer offering complete kits. Sorting thousands of tiny parts into ziplock bags was a big hassle. Instead the kit will contain a PCB with surface-mount parts soldered on, a boot ROM, serial port pigtails, and two CDs of documentation and software. I have prepared a shared project on Mouser for most of the remaining parts. The serial chips are obtained from Digikey. This way you can just de-select what you already have, or order something different -- like if you want machined sockets instead of dual-wipes.

Go to http://661.org/p112 to read about the P112 and download the manual, among other things. The Kickstarter page is at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2057605091/p112-single-board-computer-kit
 
Here's the parts list: http://p112.feedle.net/parts.html. There are part numbers and links to the parts pages on Mouser, Digikey, and Jameco (connector things). There's also a link to a shared project on Mouser for quickly ordering the parts (https://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=5996841c60). All that is about $40 for the Mouser parts and $14 for the two chips from Digikey. I haven't scoped out these things from European sources, but I imagine the cost will be similar.
