 		 #173032 - RE: Why NOT?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
As an end in itself, yes - it's an interesting challenge.

As a way to use-up a pile of 89S5x chips - maybe.

But as a way to produce a useful product - there are, surely, better ways?!

A bit like making an 8051-based calculator: sure, it can be done; and there is plenty to be learned from the exercise - but it's not the way to go if you actually want a calculator!

Keep It Simple

I think that the specific limitations of the 8051 architecture mean that it would be simpler to do it with another, better-suited architecture.

Stupid

Say no more!
