Understand I'm working at a disadvantage not having a strong familiarity
with the architecture of the various parts. Within that context, I was
wondering if one could get either an OTP or EPROM version of the chip
that would work in the miniboard, using the existing miniboard tools
but with the advantage that much of the C support functions would be
pre-burned into the EPROM. Thus compiling in a call to the adc()
function (or whatever its called to read the A/D controllers) would
entail using only a small amount of EEPROM (to do the call) and the
rest would be stored in the EPROM. 

The other thing I've noticed in my quest of 68HC11 info is that several
people offer a "BASIC-11" system that can be installed into PROM versions
of the part (no idea on the code size at the moment) and it might
make a nice alternative version development environment "on-line"
as it were. Or even a debugger that I could use to debug C programs
downloaded into the EEPROM.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
