If you like the PDP-11 instruction set you might want to check out the MSP430. The MSP430 is lacking the two most advanced indirect addressing modes but in return you get twice as many registers. Why TI brands the MSP430 as RISC is one of the great unsolved mysteries. -p. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
