I have the ME Labs board and I am more than happy with it.  They sell it
un assmbled(just the board and softare) for like 27 dollars, which I felt
was reasonable.  Be aware though that if you donot have a decent
electronics supply house around, it uses a 7407 TTL chip that I found to
be a total pain to locate.  Closest one I could find was 50 miles away
until I found out my boss had some..So if you decide to go with the kit,
see if you can get the 7407 from ME labs while you're at it.  I kinda
preferred the kit since I was able to get a ZIF equipped board for the
same price as the assembled version with a non ZIF socket.
It seems to work fine. Has read, write, windows based, etc.
