 		 #148930 - assembly
Responding to: ???'s previous message
How do you plan to assemble this board? Wirewrap?

Seriously ... it might be worth your while to spend $70 to $100 on one of the Silicon Labs dev board kits.

If only I had one of these things when I was doing my senior design project (1987/88). We had to send, via modem, our .HEX file to a friend who graduated a couple of years earlier and got a job at Bell Labs. He'd program an 8751 for us, and we'd drive from Hoboken to Cherry Hill (like driving from Tucson to Phoenix) to get a programmed part, then we'd drive back, plug it in to our wire-wrapped board, try it, then realize that it didn't work and as such, lather, rinse, repeat!

On second thought, forget I mentioned the SiLabs boards. You have to suffer like we did :)
