William,

I think that you should reconsider your worries about the sx48 chip going away. I decided to do a little investigating just to clear up some facts for myself. If you were to go and see how many Basic Stamps contain the sx48, you would see that Parallax itself would be a different company if the sx48 were to disapear.

As for the sx52, all that you were gaining was the four extra i/o pins on the ra port. I guess if your design was built around that then I guess you would be in deep do-do. I may be missing something here, but the thing that I can't figure out is why a company would offer the chips that were four i/o pins in difference. I can't imagine an engineer sitting there looking at an sx52 and thinking that, if only this came in a 48 pin version. Maybe I am missing some secrets here.

If I have any disapointments, it would be, why SX/B is not becomming as robust as pbasic, and why it does not have ALL the features of pbasic, but I will stop there, I have been down this road before.
