That would be the Intel MCS48 family and/or the 8051. The latter is still in production as an ASIC core. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If I had an EPROM eraser (a > programmer is easy to build) I'd use them instead of Atmel chips. Needham's Electronics used to offer them, assuming they're still in business. I have one laying around here someplace should I ever need to burn an EPROM for an amatuer radio application. As for the first computer, I guess I was a Johnny Come Lately with my TRS-80 Color Computer 2 with 16k "Extended Color BASIC" in late 1983. Over time I upgraded it to 64k, added a 5.25" floppy disk drive, and a dot matrix printer. I used it for packet radio for about two years as well as composing the local radio club's newsletter until I got a PX ZT clone in 1989 with TWO floppy drives and 640k of memory! Unfortunately, for most of that time I had a black an white TV hooked to it. :-/ I no longer have the machine as I gave it to a friend a number of years back. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago and it probably found its way to a dump in Oklahoma. :-( - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
