Thought you might like to know we are on the same wavelength from at
least 2 different wavelengths-

First, my interest centers on aviation. My current project is to fuel
inject and monitor two stroke engines, hoping to radically upgrade
reliability.

I also am using an 8051 derivative - actually it's a commercial
miniature single board computer ($89) with a 87c535 (8 adc channels,
serial, 3 timers, lots of memory, wire wrap space). At least for an open
loop system, there is all the power in the world.
