From: "Chuck Guzis" <cclist at sydex.com> I know that this is sort of OT, but I also know that several folks who do embedded development lurk here. I have a possible application for an embedded controller with a fair amount of RAM 128-256K and ideally, DMA capability. Originally, I considered something like an 80C188, but it seems that that's yesterday's technology and better alternatives exist.

Right now, the ARM controllers look pretty good. Can anyone recommend a favorite development board that can be used for prototyping? I don't need much program memory--128K is more than adequate, but at least 128K of RAM is very important. Cheers, Chuck
