It has been a couple of years, but--

I've used it on several occasions, quite a nice processor, unlike the 86
series (more motorola like, regular ).  To extend the address range,
I used the code/data status line (I don't remember what it's called) as
another address line.  Works fine.  That doubles the address space from
64K to 128K.  I don't know how they doubled it again.  Perhaps a port bit,
or could be the newest versions have added address lines, since I used it.

The event capture and PWM stuff is really nifty--great for servo systems,
speed measurement, etc.

I wrote on on-board forth interpretea/compiler for it. It's instruction set
is very well suited for forth.
