Similar to a previous posting by someone else, I am looking for a
microprocessor development system for my MacII.  For example, I want
to control a motor, so I want to use a simple 8-bit microprocessor,
with a small ROM, RAM, and perhaps and RS-232 chip.  To develop this
system, I need a compiler (or, less attractively, an assembler) for
the microprocessor, preferably a MacII-based simulator to debug the
code with, and an interface between the microcontroller and the Mac.
This stuff is all standard fare in the PC/XT/AT world, but I hate IBM,
I own a Mac, and I want to keep it that way.  

Can anyone suggest a product(s), companies, or anything to support
this type of venture.  I am leaning towards the 8080A, Z80, or 6502,
but anything that is well-supported and uses a low-cost microprocessor
(i.e., 8-bit) is fine with me.  

	thanks,
