There is a fairly active community of Cybiko developers. It's a popular
platform because it's got a keyboard, LCD, AVR controller, Hitachi H8S main
CPU, 512K FLASH, 512K 'disk' (RAM), 1.5MB of memory, USB port, etc.
Cybiko has, IIRC, been very cooperative in providing information. They also
have their own developers kit that is either free, or very cheap.
You can find this on eBay really cheap.

I thought the devkit was Win32 based?
You can get them in a variety of fashionable
colours! :-)
I've also noticed that the O2 store in Leeds (West Yorkshire, England) has
them for GBP 20. Or at least they did when I went in to try and get my
mobile phone "topped up".
Now I know what I'm going to buy next - a pair of Cybikos :-)
Later.
