Bill, I've been meaning to ask you about this.  BDLC is one thing, it
doesn't include a line driver and it doesn't do block transfers or 4x
mode.  68hc58 is a DLC, and if you go to freescale.com and put xc68hc58
into the search field you come up to a page with 4 DLC parts that say
active, and in fact have all been transitioned to ROHS.  I'm not sure
that it is obsolete, given that it's the only choice for PCM and for
reflashing equipment, since it has support for blocks and 4x.
