Are these cards worth the 39 bucks? or are they another dud like the DSSRev?

well, $39 is way better then what they used to be, something like $75. They sure as hell wern't worth 75, and 39 is getting close. Support lately has been better then when they first came out. If shipping was included it might not be a bad deal. Will likely be another 10-15 bucks to have it shipped. If it wasn't for this, I would maybe purchase one to try out.

But then again, the support will probably dry up soon since they aren't selling many bords. Its funny how history continues to repeat itself.

A $25 atmega128 is cheaper and support is lightyears faster.

ive seen atmega128's at $10 each, lot faster support for them. If the enigma cards source code was released with the assembly to a few coders, It would make a dramatic comeback in my opinion. The private slow support is digging its own grave.

I got a few good months out of mine. Payed over $90 plus shipping soon after they came out. Being as this is testing, and it did take some hair pulling to get it to work at first, the money for value was OK, not great. I agree that not releasing source code to others has made this card to unreliable. I would not buy another. I'd look to an Atmega256 for cardless testing. Plastic will always be the best bet.
