I have downloaded some assemblers and stuff from the Circuit Cellar BBS
for both the 80C51 ans 68HC11 micros.  Now I need to decide which one to
use.  I am leaning toward the Intel 8051 only because I have seen a few
applications which use them - I don't know anything about the 68HC11.

Would anybody care to compare the two microcontrollers?  I will be designing
an interface between RS-232 and another serial protocol in the near future
and would appreciate comments and suggestions...
