- Anyone ever heard of a microcontroller&/microprocessor called a
- D77P20D ?. I met a few of these the other day, and a quick glance in
- someone elses IC Master (mine is about 8000 miles away at present) told
- me that it was a DSP optimised chip with a bloody fast multiply - well
- compared to a '51 or 6805/11 anyway. My interest was aroused that these
- could be useful in grotty little audio applications where the more fancy
- (and expensive) DSP units were not needed. They are made by NEC and are
- in a ceramic windowed package. To be useful, one would need to find an
- X-assembler, and some data. Anyone know the phone number of the part of
- NEC that deals in such obscurities ? (Oh that the IC Master really was
- the fountain of info it purports to be instead of merely offering a
- morsel of information) - and while on the subject of strange thingies,
- I'm looking for info on an "Omni programmer" made by Varix corp - what
- seems to be now extinct !
- Cheers,
- Mike.
