Did INTEL place the BASIC rom code for the 8052 (8031, etc.) in PUBLIC DOMAIN? A friend, who is a High School Teacher, asked if I could make up some microcontroller boards for some of the students to use. Rather than use assembly, it would be best if BASIC could be used, to allow then fundamental idea's be learned. Just wanted to check to make sure that the BASIC program is public domain, so I can place it into EPROM and run it with a $2 8032 uC. Does INTEL still supply the 8052BASIC chip? I noticed Unicorn Electronics listed a 8052 BASIC chip for $21.99, but I was under the impression INTEL had discontinued the part. Only other chip I am aware of is the MHS 80C52 with BASIC sold by Micromint ($15.00/100). Please post here, or send email - I'll post a follow up. Thanks, Thomas Walter bit!thomas@cse.ogi.edu Beaverton, OR.
