[quote="eagletalontim"]ok, just out of curiosity..... If I did get the Propeller 44pin QFP chip, what eeprom would I need to match the SX28's programmable memory?  Most of my programs will fit on just one SX28, but a few need 2 which transfer data back and forth.   Hopefully I can do all the same with the Propeller.  I don't sell a whole bunch of these items but I sell enough to keep 10 to 15 items in stock at all times.  All I would need to do is be able to possibly fill the area where the SX used to be and I may even be able to improve my design by going with SM components if they can handle the 1 amp current from a 7805 regulator.[/quote]

Technically, you'll have more space -- you have eight cogs each with 2K (bytes).  Now, cog memory is broken into longs (four bytes) so you only have 512 per cog but still, you have a total of 4K longs inside the Propeller.

Don't worry about the reduction in instructions within a cog -- PASM is far more powerful than SX assembly.  Give the Propeller  a try; you'll find that integrating code written by others is simpler.
