That's sort of a strange question.   It seems to me you would have to have an
application in mind in order to be interested in building such a circuit in
the first place!

I have an 8031 circuit on some bread boards on my desk. I have it interfaced
to a DTMF decoder, on/off hook detection circuit, and a 16x1 character LC
display.  I'm using this setup to fool around with the 8031 (its the first
microprocessor circuit I've ever built).  Recently, I added a tiny Rs-232
interface (just an optocoupler) and wrote a program so I can upload Intel Hex
files to the circuit.  That way, I get around having to burn a new EPROM for
each change I make in whatever program I'm working on at the time.

A microcontroller can give old and new projects exciting new possibilities
because they suddenly develope the power to make decisions and store
information.
