Responding to: ???'s previous message
The 8051's that comprised the 1st and 2nd wave of '51 variants were all licenced from intel. I don't know, but i suspect newer designs are non-licenced "scratch" implementations.

I don't recall if the instruction set is under copyright protection, or if this is even possible anymore.

regards,
