[arm-allstar] RASPBERRY MODELS

[ken rohal]

Thanks Don,
That's the answer I was looking for, I found the 3b in kit form by 
Viaboot at Walmart 20 bucks cheaper than the 3b+ kits, has the board, 
power supply, 16mb card, case, hdmi cable, and 2 heat sinks for 59.95, I 
figured that there had to be plenty of 3b's running out there....
thanks for the reply.
