Hi,
This doesn't fall into the category of 10 year-old computers but... I was
interested to find out that New Micros has a fully assembled 8051 based
single board computer for $39 with a C compiler, assembler, Forth
interpreter. The board seems to be fairly nice... includes a monitor ROM, 8
kb of RAM [expandable], RS232, simple LCD driver, among other things.
's pretty cool. Mine arrived today. Their site is
http://www.newmicros.com
It's been awhile since I did anything on the 8051. I really want to do an
Ethernet+TCP/IP implementation on top of it. A TCP/IP + Ethernet
hackerboard. Anyone think it's a good idea?
