I don't understand the insistence that Parallax should support what it doesn't have or sell. Why not hammer Microchip and others to provide better, more Parallax-like support for their small, cheap chips?....[/quote]
Because microchip makes their money from selling lots of chips to a few people who can succesfully use them. Actually, there are lots of people using them, but microchip only really cares about those people who buy lots of them.  

 

I really think that at some point in the future, Parallax should look into building a small fast low cost micro. Not the SX, but SX like.  I think parallax could compete with a low end fast 32 bit micro (single cog). Until then, those of us who need the speed may need to look elsewhere (There are ~100Mips 8051's out there @ a few $ea). 

 

The SX is not the greatest micro out there, but it is a great all around processor.
