Anyone have any suggestions for real cheap ($10 - $20) microcomputers.
I have a bunch of small projects that I'd like to do and would like to
use the same kind of hardware to do them on.  I'd ideally like:
	single chip microcomputer
	single single power supply voltage
	CMOS (low power usage in standby at least)
	small size
	easy to do clock (builtin or easy to find crystal)
I don't really care about the instruction set (too much) or the amount of
RAM (I'll use 64 - 256 bytes) or EPROM (1 or 2 K), but it would be nice to
have a UART built in.  I've been looking around some, but it seems that
the price range I'm looking for doesn't have alot to offer (for small
quantity).  I don't care if it's 4 bit wide (or 32 for that matter), in
fact I'm looking into getting a "device controller" since I don't
really need most of the micro.  Anyway, any suggestions, help, ...
would be appreciated.

Roy
