Tim,

Look at the PIC18F6720, it has 2 USARTs. I used 1 for interfacing to a
PC (RS232) for
the main interface and I used the second one for a "service port". Only
problem is most
of the chips with 2 USARTs are in the bigger packages.

Not only would that be cool, but what if it had 2 USARTs in an 8-pin
package...

I have not searched Microchip's site yet, but does anybody know if
microchip has any PICs with more than one USART?
It sure would be nice to have an extra USART so I don't have to
bit-bang my SPI/I2C when my RS-232 is already being used.

Thanks,

Tim

PIC12F635/PIC16F636
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/41232A.pdf

Digikey has a placeholder for it but no price or availability.
Nothing on Microchip site in 12F section yet.

Looks like a 8Mhz (internal osc) 12F629 with some low power stuff
thrown in.

What I really want is hardware SPI/I2C in a 8 pin flash part.
A USART in a 8 pin flash part would be cool too. :-)
