Interesting! I haven't used it myself, but I have thought about trying it
from time to time. It makes sense that the 1MB address
space would have to
be bank switched, but 8K windows sounds like a bit of a pain.
Too bad...

I played with that
board, wanting to implement a fairly little simple TCP/IP server for my
weather station. While it claims a 1MB address space, your code executes in
two 8K sliding windows. And apparently, arraning windows or some BS like
that is left to the user.
All I know for sure is that I'm a fairly experience micro person, and I
couldn't get it to work. My object file was something like 43K with their
stack compiled in. And it was claimed to be "too large". The limited help
I got from Rabbit was an example of how to do it, which was a complete
re-write of my code, and not in a way that made sense. It's a little
difficult to explain, but in spite of Fred Eadys paid endorsement for them,
it sucks.
With all the other choices in micros out there, the Rabbit is best left in
the dumpster^wbox.
