 		 #181115 - define "abandoned"
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Didn't know Intel had completely abandoned the 8051 altogether. I thought they merely stopped producing it?

I believe nowadays you would barely found a mention of the '51 (and 'x96 for that matter) on the Intel's website - maybe at their "museum" site, if at all.

They also dropped (sold, spun off, whatever) the memory business (through the short-lived Numonyx venture) - the proclaimed core business of Intel since its origins. Nowadays they appear to be ashamed of the fact that they played key role in the most of what digital electronics is today, desperately striving to be The Computer Processor Company.

                                             actually, Intel *used to make* ARMs...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                I know..            01/01/70 00:00

                              My experience            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Multitude of packages            01/01/70 00:00      
                           In that case..            01/01/70 00:00      
                           AVR - only limited DIP availability.            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Limited needs for full set of DIL chips            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Unfortunately, there are stumbling blocks            01/01/70 00:00      
                           "Breadboards" ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Yes I do,            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Lovely example!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 A thing of beauty, eh?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    What's crazy is that many of these seem to work            01/01/70 00:00

                        DIP            01/01/70 00:00      
                           And your point is...?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I'm not convinced that's real reason ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Prototyping methods            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    You can say that again!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Not really            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 You have a point, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Have you counted the oscillator?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Look at the package pin-count.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Pin counts            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Haven't seen skinny 40-pin DIL            01/01/70 00:00

                                          I'm not sure what the constraints were, but ...            01/01/70 00:00

                                                      Yes, it was 0.9 inches as was that 68000            01/01/70 00:00      
            maybe not, but            01/01/70 00:00      
               Yep,but...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Is it 1998 already?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  something everybody will have to learn to live with            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I'm not so certain of that ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        also disappearing            01/01/70 00:00
