#174151 - So why on an 8051?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Given that your requirement is defeated by a basic feature of the chip, and you are just trying to work around that feature, why would you want to do this on this chip?

Why not just use a chip that doesn't have this feature (which is a "limitation" in your application)?

I want to make a system that has a basic operating system and set of drivers for a few peripherals such as a graphic LCD display. The system could then run various programs on top of this simple OS depending on what MIDI gear the user wants to control.

The 8051 is not a great choice for that kind of thing.

As David Prentice prentice asked here, are you just using this chip because you happen to have a big pile of 'em to use up?

Or do you want this to be a particular "challenge" to your students?
