 		 #129893 - 1) why different architecture
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Why use a stupid PIG? Thgere are plenty small cheapies in the '51 line.

all my "little offload cheapie uCs" are Ph.. ARGH! NXP LPCs. Using these you get IIC hardware and the interface to the 'mother' is a breeze (even the software is served to you on a silver platter). Using a NXP LPC and CodeArchitect, you can make a slave uC UART in an hour or so. Well, when you have done that and it works, it will dawn on you that you can do so much more (validate records, echo transmission, .....) in a slave than with an external UART (which cost more) and you will suddenly realize that the $1 you spent for the LPC is the best dollar you have spent in a long time.

      no problem in using 805x            01/01/70 00:00      
         do so, but first ...            01/01/70 00:00

                                    Fair point - so back to OP            01/01/70 00:00      
         Maybe one uArt is enough...            01/01/70 00:00      
   use Atmels            01/01/70 00:00      
      why use Atmel?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Maybe other architecture            01/01/70 00:00      
            why on earth do that            01/01/70 00:00

                     good discussion            01/01/70 00:00      
                        How can you do this            01/01/70 00:00      
                           hand shaking            01/01/70 00:00      
                              no need of handshaking signals            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 you are right            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Not necessarily            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I confirm that            01/01/70 00:00      
         it all depends on what he can both get and afford            01/01/70 00:00
