Re: single board Pc

I've thought about experimenting with a single board computer from time
to time. Whenever I already know what I want (e.g. the specific sbc
used in some book that I thought I might want to go through), it turns
out to be too expensive for me.

I still have some of these books. They deal with the following processors:
6502, 8085, 8051, Z80. I don't know whether boards are still available
for these processors. Just so it should not be a total loss to own these
books, I've downloaded simulators for all the above processors. But if
I want to practice interfacing, and I do, it would be better to have
SDK's or SBC's for them.

I'm not absolutely clear on the difference between a SDK and a SBC.
I think the former has a keypad and an LED display, while the latter
is just a board that one will plug into another computer. Is that correct?
