really?  that's interesting.  i guess i didn't think that they could hack it b/c
they run at about 2MHz, don't have a lot of I/0 lines (unless you get the 52 pin),
and were generally pretty old.  i guess that's my fault.  i figured that there were
better out there.
so, let me rephrase that, HC11's could hack it, but they can be improved upon.
