Tjaart,
     The thing is though guys,

     Well yes you are correct that we would all like to be able to have
     FLASH in system programmed parts, for development when software is
     being rebuilt every few days or so this is great. But also during
     development surely you want to be able to do in system debugging dont
     you? None of the 8bit micros provide this facility! I have been
     talking to MicroChip, NEC and Atmel about this, apparently nobody has
     asked for it before .... surely not!

     On Motorolla DSP's namely the DSP56000's and DSP56300's they have
     something called the OnCE port (On Chip Emulator) believe me this is
     the business, all curteousy of a small 4 pin header socket.

     regards,
     SW.

Do you imply by this that there is no demand for flash chips ? (I mean
*real* chips, not the '84) The demand for flash has been there for a
long
time.
