At Maxim, I defined an 8051 with nice 12 bit ADC's. We acquired Dallas not long after and it kind of got lost. I can write 8051 assembly in my sleep, quirky but very practical overall for 8 bit apps.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">John Wettroth</div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">919 349-9875</div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">jwet@mindspring.com </div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div align="left" dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Mike Lisanke via TriEmbed <triembed@triembed.org> </div><div>Date: 8/21/24 6:11 PM (GMT-05:00) </div><div>To: brad@bfayette.com </div><div>Cc: Triangle Embedded Interest Group <triembed@triembed.org> </div><div>Subject: Re: [TriEmbed] Fwd: [electronics101] Z80 discontinued (announced in April) </div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr">Very cool!
