I've used the 80C196 as an embedded controller on three different circuit cards (video dsp) in three different projects. We originally went to it because it was the only part which could replace the Mostek 68200 we were using when it was discontinued in 1987. My '196 code is multiply intensive and the 196 has a fast MUL instruction (but still microcode, not hardware like a dsp chip) so it's still a good fit. The C compiler is fairly decent. John Abt
