Well, I didn't give the whole story.  I have a chip in my possession (a 
14000) and I have the source of a program which I would very much like 
to program into it.  It was written specifically for the 14000 and is 
supposed to work.  (No, I'm not really that naive, but it might work).  
The alternative is to find a flash chip that has the necessary 
peripherals and re-do the code for that.  Not an impossible task, or at 
least I don't think so, but if just burning the code into the 14000 is 
possible, then that seems easier, and I already have the chip.

No -- with the greatest humility, I will yield any day to someone who 
can write a compiler!  :-)

OK, I used the wrong phrase when I said "play" with them.  I have 
explained the motivation, above.  I am now thoroughly convinced that I 
do not want to play with them.  :-)
