Unique method of tuning final stage and in-built diagnostics makes it easy for beginners and professionals. So I was happy to note that after a few false starts in mid 1998, he has finally got his MAX-1 kit in good enough shape to send me a free review unit. He has also taken my suggestion to appoint a USA based distributor for his kit so that he can tap the major USA market. After a long delay from the date the kit was first announced at Marko's web site, the MAX-1 is now totally ready to market.
Product reviews are a very interactive and cooperative process.
Marko's been very cooperative and already made various changes since the version I first received. In order to show you how the product evolves step by step, I have posted my original review interlaced with details of the latest kit version. As the whole review process is by definition so interactive, I have also put in Marko's comments as a kind of dialog between Manufacturer and Reviewer. This is an advanced variation of the 8051, an 8 bit Microcontroller originally developed by Intel in 1980. Please see the 8051 FAQ for more info.
