[Diy_efi] IsoPod (was Getting Started...)

[Kent Martin]

I have been looking into a few more micros you may
want to look at.
The Mitsubishi M16C/62 and the Texas instruments msp430.
Both are pretty grunty micros, the TI one has free compilers
available on the net but not sure about the M16C yet.
Atmel AVR's are good and readily available (can get one, the 8535 I believe,
from Dick Smith, if
your in aussie land) but are a little under powered for some applications
depending
on how many and how fast the signals are you want to create.

Kent.
