Al,  I checked out this site that Ron mentioned and it looks very =

    This "ECU 6" sounds interesting. 2 suggestions=20

    1- Before deciding to build our own processor board, look at  New =

range...=20
   =20
    2 - Development software is easiest if not done with the cheap =
public domain stuff -=20
         My own favorite is Embedded Workbench by  IAR . Their C =
development        system for the 8751 is like working with the old =
Turbo Pascal. They have a free demo version that's still better than =
small C.=20

    Just a suggestion. I also would get involved. Hardware or =
