I have 2 which I got from a seller in China for £15, although I've not tested them they look pretty genuine (vertical stripe, NS logo and same font as my SC/MP) and the seller has lots of positive feedback and virtually no negativ They are the only ones I've seen for less than ~£35 a piece for more "reputable" suppliers so if they prove to be fake then I guess thats a lesson learned!

As for programming, yes its definitely arcane but to be fair to NS it was designed before a lot of the "conventions" we take for granted. It's not surprising that a lot of systems using it were done by cross-assembling the code on a minicomputer which could make use of exotic macro features and high level constructs! I've got a TASM table for the 8060 so I can assemble through a DOS box on my laptop, but I've yet to find anything that runs nativly on Linux (not that I've looked very hard).
