- It has been a couple of years, but--
-
- I've used it on several occasions, quite a nice processor, unlike the 86
- series (more motorola like, regular ). To extend the address range,
- I used the code/data status line (I don't remember what it's called) as
- another address line. Works fine. That doubles the address space from
- 64K to 128K. I don't know how they doubled it again. Perhaps a port bit,
- or could be the newest versions have added address lines, since I used it.
-
- The event capture and PWM stuff is really nifty--great for servo systems,
- speed measurement, etc.
-
- I wrote on on-board forth interpretea/compiler for it. It's instruction set
- is very well suited for forth.
