 David:  I am reasonably happy with the 68hc11, but I use New Micros
 version with Forth onboard in ROM, the F68hc11.  Their single qty chip
 price is 37.50 - I dont know whether you are a Forth user or not. 
 ( If you are I would assume you would prefer this). The plain chip must
 be less. Power is supposed to be around 20 ma. I get a complete 4x4 inch
 board from New Micros, with sockets for memory, the PRU 6824 chip, RS232
 connection, and all ports available. My interface board has 2 encoder
 interface chips, dual D/A, output isolation SSR's, and feeds the 2
 rotary encoders - relative power hogs - all for about 85 ma for the
 complete control.  The board from NMI is about 120 without 5 V supply.
