 Subj: 80196? 8031? NEW SBC!         Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE


        Vesta Technology is interested in the possibility of building
 YASBC (Yet Another Single Board Computer).

        Currently, we make SBC's based on the 8088, 80188 and 68000.

        We would want to add one based on one of the popular controller
 chips ... the 8031 or the 80196.

        Straw poll time!

        Among the cognoscenti out there ... which would be neater for
 you? A $99.00 SBC w/Forth based on the 8031, or a $199.00 SBC w/Forth
 based on the 80196?

        =jax= "inquiring youth wants to know!"

        I should have mentioned that these will be targeted at
 low power consumption applications.
