I took a look at a piece of the sales literature, and
it was dated 1984.
Are these things still used?
Jep, _heavy_ used - like 8048 (et al) are also still used for new
development in the low range - the MCS96 is some kind of mid (or now
lower mid) range product for high data thruput.

Well actually, this kit consists only of the chips and
sales literature; the
data sheets have been removed although they might be in a batch of other
data sheets I picked up (I hope!)
Ahh - I wasalready wondering why there are two CPUs.
