Looks like the National Semicondutor COP family is coming out with some flash chips as well... Everybody is jumping on the bandwagon that microchip more-or-less invented. I wish microchip were being as agressive about flash as some of their competitors, I think...

For a list of cities, a detailed agenda, and to register, go to: http://wwwd2.national.com/reg/cop8flash-seminar.nsf Come and experience the newest FLASH based members of our COP8 8-bit microcontroller family and the development tools that support them. We believe that you will find many of the brand-new features we have incorporated as exciting as we do: * Flash memory dynamically configurable as EEPROM data memory (up to 32k) * Zero external component in-system programming capability * 100,000 erase/write operations and 100 years data retention * 100% precise emulation of on-chip analog functions * Designed for high noise immunity * Absolute code security * Internet connectivity and * The world's smallest 28-pin and 44-pin microcontrollers, that enable you to shrink your designs by 66% A 20% discount on all COP8FLASH development tools will be offered to all seminar attendees. We look forward to seeing you at one of our seminars!
