- I, too was told that the Motorola development kit is no longer available
- at any price. I hope Moto changes their mind on that, or at least
- releases the design and software so third parties can recreate it.
- I would be willing to pay significantly more than $50 for it.

- The chip itself looks usefull, but certainly very limited. For the
- price, it could easily become a "super-PAL", and replace lots of
- random logic where speed isn't critical. I am considering using
- one to debounce, encode, and serialize a keypad for use with a
- remote lock. The limited program store and RAM will restrict
- applications, but there should be lots of jobs that this thing
- will do nicely.
