The Business Card Computer is a small computer built around the MC 68332
microcontroller. Some of the fliers give you the impression that it is as
small as a credit card, but you will need a rather large wallet to carry
it around :-).

We have found the BCC to be an excellent choice for embedded control 
applications. It comes with a 128 KByte ROM and 64K RAM. A ROM resident
debugger makes application development/debugging quite easy. The BCC
has two serial communication interfaces, one asynchronous, and the other
a fast ( ~Mbits/sec ) synchronous interface. A Time Processor unit with
16 independent channels allows you to do stepper motor control, PWM etc. 
with minimal CPU intervention.

I believe the BCC with its Evaluation board costs around $300. Details
may be obtained from Motorola.

Regards,

Ashish.
