WHERE CAN I FIND THEM?!! Not the real thing... but maybe it will do: I feel the same way about the 68HC11 stuff. I was not happy with the prices of the stuff I had seen in the backs of the compu-rags... but if you look on page #108 of the Ciucuit Cellar, there is some company named "Minotaur Systems" that is selling a 68HC11 board that has 32K of flash EPROM & 8K static RAM. They claim generous prototyping space, but the whole thing is on a 5x5 board... you think about it. Uhmmm... 5 volt operation & a PC based assembler & downloading program. I think I am going to pick one up & check it out. They are only asking $109 for the version w/the flash EPROM... $84 for one without. DISCALIMER - I never even herd of Minotaur before last evening when I read their ad in CC ink. So this is not an advertisement. --John -- !
