I have seen several bits of SX code that obviously came from MPLAB. Its easy
to define macros for the extra SX instructions. In fact, you could define
macros to allow the use of the Parallax menomics in MPLAB. (If anyone has
some available, please let me know so I can post them on the piclist.com
page)

I happen to think that Scenix is killing itself by accentuating the
differences between the SX and PIC rather than the simularities. The SX is a
pin for pin, hardware and software replacement (that happens to run at 50
MIPS) and supports cheap ISP and ICD.

I'd love to see MPLAB to SX support in a programmer. Any SX users that have
done this sort of thing have a rare opportunity to speak up and at least see
more support for the chip or maybe end up with a nice tool for migrating to
the SX.

Subject: MPLAB and Scenix chips?


Anyone using MPLAB with the scenix chips? Would MPLAB compatibility be
an advantage for a scenix SX programmer?

Thanks for any feed back on this.
