Is it great stuff being stuck in a time warp shooting back to the sixties?
If it had not been for GM the HClemon would not have got off the ground
(6802 with a timer counter module).

I don't base my designs on what is in "Fashon" at all, infact I think that
the HC05 is a far better beast!. I think that the HClemon is neither your
knee nore your elbow it is NOT an effective processor nore it is not an
effective controller (The 8051 is better). Yes it does work, but why row
accross the Atlantic when you can fly?

I never said that the HClemon shouldn't be used, I just think that it is a
bit old hat and nothing including compilers has kept pace.

You can design far better systems that use far less power and have a faster
time to market with other newer processors/controllers, and you don't have
to say "Please sir I want 1 million please".

I will not pay hommage to those Valiam takers using this device, great if
you get results, but hey you can get that with any processor!
