Woosh... thunk... THUD!

What was that sound? It's the sound of my head being hit by a cone
shaped hat. I threw away (yes) some idt 7005's (8k) last week that were
attached to some blown up equipment. "Had no use for 'em". Would've made
good "prototyping on the cheap" chips. Dangit, I never throw anything
away... Dangit, dangit, dangit. Maybe I'll find some more...

Sounds logical to me. Would the CCS compiler (http://ccsinfo.com) work
on those processors? That would be really cool if it did. I like
programming in C, and would absolutely love to do a PIC that way. ;) I
didn't see it in the "supported devices" list, though.

I look forward to seeing it.
