right. Yeesh. Sorry about this.

I have used PIC chips for well over a decade, and in particular, have
developed circuits using the PIC16C773 due to the 12-bit ADC.
Everything would be rosy with the '773, except that I fried my two
windowed chips, they are no longer stocked by DigiKey or Mouser, and
it just seems like I could modernize a bit with an MCU that supports,
among other things:

* 12-bit ADC
* Serial port
* EEPROM or Flash, instead of EPROM / OTP
* Low pin count packages that a geezer can solder -- does not have to
be DIP necessarily
* Free software tools, possibly even C compiler
* Relatively painless programmer hardware

Another option would be to use one of the flash-based PIC chips and
switch to an outboard ADC, if the collective wisdom favored such a
route.

Thanks in advance for letting me use GG one last time, and for any
wisdom you are willing to share.
PIC's are nice for small things. The newer flash versions are also nice.
AVR's are in there some where with flat memory addressing..
The ATmega's are very nice and offer lots of goodies..

The 87c51 old stand by series are good along with the newer line etc..
89c51,52,54,58's ect...


There are many to select from.
