Great question - I would also like to know - thanks.

In any case its conceivable for designs to utilise more than one microprocessor
and they need not be from the same manufacturer.

A recent feasability study for an alarm system pointed to a good benefit by
using a 68HC11 (as main controller) and an AT89C2051 (as protocol controller).

Some say there is no magic but, all things begin with thought then it becomes
academic, then some poor slob works out a practical way to implement all that
theory, this is called Engineering - for most people another form of magic.
