Howdy Riddler.

1. Well documented
2. Speed
3. Ongoing Support from Motorola
4. You can almost build an ECM on the training platform

Now that things are getting interesting in the semiconductor field, Harris,
NatSemi and Intel all have automotive specific semiconductors.  YOu might
want to check out the EFI332 website... they are using the 32 bit version
of the 68HC series embedded processers, certainly a more robust choice.

Welcome to the list !
