And upwardly compatible (within families). Will the Motorola ones? Why are there no HC11's with more than 2K of flash? (are there any now?

The > Nitrons are nice "PIC Killers" for small apps, as well. Sure. If you are certain that you can get them in the future. I have been burned by HC11 allocation problems too many times to ever go back to Motorola. While I prefer the Moto architecture, their repeated inability to deliver product in a reasonable time frame forced me to cross them off my list of possible suppliers. > Long live Motorola! Long live Microchip, Atmel, Maxim/Dallas, etc. We need choice and multiple suppliers of a given architecture. Single source is a 'bad thing'. Burn me once... Robert |
