Has anyone had any experience with the MSP430F112 or MSP430F149 micros?.
    They look interesting.  Low power. OK speed.  12 bit A/D.

I took their one-day seminar when it rolled around (and found it
worthwhile.)  They do seem like neat parts.  Be aware that some of the
tricks used for acheiveing low power and/or quick wakeup from powerdown
modes interfere with "accurate" instruction timing...


    Has anyone actually bought any?  If so, how much are they and where
    did you get them?

Wyle claims to sell the F112 for about $2.50 in small quantities.  "Call"
for leadtimes. (uh oh.)  I haven't seen any of the larger flash parts even
listed anywhere...  To bring in another topic under discussion - presumably
one of the reason that Microchip's flash parts are priced as low as their
OTPs has to do with there being a lot of competition in the market places
for "new" designs using a GP flash microcontroller, while the older OTP
famillies have an established clientel still willing to pay the "old"
prices.
