Lorax Proseed

The proSeed, the first microcontroller product from the Lorax Works
controllers family, with 128Kb of EEPROM, 128Kb of RAM, and a 70Mhz SX
microprocessor in a 24pin DIP package, presents an unheard potential
for applications requiring large on-board memory.

Interesting platform if a little expensive.

I assume they used a dataflash for the 128Kb but I wonder what they are
using for 128Kb of RAM.  Any one have any idea?  I thought that much
ram for an embedded design would be expensive.

Since the news release is dated October '05, and the part is still 
"coming soon", and the download area is empty, I wouldn't hold my
breath.  

Please note, you wrote 128 "Kb", which implies "kiloBITS",
but the web site indicates "KB", which implies kiloBYTES...

You're right!  128KB flash and 128KB RAM.  No wonder it's $89.

Other failed Stamp killer...
