   8051 dead?            01/01/70 00:00      
      I have heard that before            01/01/70 00:00

   Ramtron?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Why is their part so much faster ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         it runs out of FLASH, not FRAM            01/01/70 00:00      
            Which rather kills their own claims for FRAM?            01/01/70 00:00      
            width of program memory            01/01/70 00:00      
               4 times as fast            01/01/70 00:00      
                  It might have to be wider            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Memory acceleration a growing problem            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Branch prediction?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        all these techniques...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           That's why I like the Maxim/Dallas parts            01/01/70 00:00      
                           In that case, BP was optional.            01/01/70 00:00      
                              yes, it's the good news, that it's possible at all            01/01/70 00:00      
   Dead? Keil (an ARM company) don't think so!            01/01/70 00:00      
      That's still their goal ...            01/01/70 00:00

            I don't follow ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               Follow            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I still don't know what you meant, Andy ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Cheap native compiler normally equals cheap cross-compiler            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I'm told GCC is about the best there is ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           It makes little sense            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I'm told that it may not be...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Now I'm confused!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I guess it's just a matter of preference.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Still unsure what your "it" was            01/01/70 00:00      
                              the IT is in the full implementation.            01/01/70 00:00

                                                   I must admit, that is quite true ...            01/01/70 00:00

                                             Careful, now!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    What I meant ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         ... which is in turn good news for the chipmakers...            01/01/70 00:00      
            I just bought a new hot-water-heater that's 'net free            01/01/70 00:00      
               yes, we know you love that old stuff ;-)            01/01/70 00:00

            For hobbyists            01/01/70 00:00      
         It's getting to be that way, but ...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Yes, that one is pretty close            01/01/70 00:00      
         Don't lock down memory size - just think "good enough"            01/01/70 00:00      
            No, it should NOT be just that ...            01/01/70 00:00
