PIC Questions

[Duc]

Probably want to look into a micro controler that has much of that built in.
Take a look at Motorola's 68HC11 or a 68HC705 micro or National Semi's Cops
processor line.  They have many additional drivers/interface chips that allow
easy intergration of those functions without a rat's nest of wireing.
