Um, how are the 8X305 and the PIC related? Totally
different companies, and
the 8X300 (which the 8X305 is descended from), is older than the original
PIC, to the best of my knowledge... PIC = General Instruments, while 8X300 =
SMS, later bought by Signetics.. or the 2650 was the SMS chip, at any rate,
it was a Signetics chip..
The PIC is a Harvard Architecture machine (seperate instruction and data
busses, typically different widths, as opposed to a Von Neumann architecture
machine - code and data on the same bus). I think I remember reading that
the 8X300-series is also H.A.
I have that recently mentioned DAVONG controller with one on it. Proabably
a Western Digital disk controller or two, but I can't recall for certain.
