Hi Scumbria; Re those embedded processors and x86 stuff... I haven't designed in an embedded processor in the last four years. But back then, I used the Zilog series. The company was on the Naz, but management took it private. I was upset, cause I was long. It was quite the bargain.

Zilog embedded processors were at one time the standard for mice. They were in a DIP-18, and had about 256 bytes of PROM, and something like that much SRAM. The best thing about them was that they were under $1 in quantity 1000, for the programmable version. And they were a complete embedded computer, with I/O.
