There's a few 'C' compilers for the 8051 series ( by philips, atmel)
and the AVR series by atmel. I don't have the links handy other then
this one as a starter...

If you are in Australia or new zealand, Les can be relied on for some
great gear - like programmers and the like - the may have some links
to compilers, oh just remembered - try imagecraft:-

http://www.imagecraft.com  They have some embedded stuff :)

Good luck, (I don't like C, prefer pascal or assembler)

Some say there is no magic but, all things begin with thought then it becomes
academic, then some poor slob works out a practical way to implement all that
theory, this is called Engineering - for most people another form of magic.
