#149483 - 8051 vs 8-bit RISC
Hello to all!

First of all, my name is ricardo santarem, i'm an electronic student at high college in Portugal.

I am entering the world of PIC programming, and althouth i have searched a bit around on internet i still have many questions, so i hope you can help me out here!


First question:
I have an Intel's P80C52 PIC, from 1980.
In here: http://www.8052.com/faqs.phtml?FAQ=119883
I can read it has maskROM, and wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_ROM
says i cannot reprogram it, can you confirm this?

Second:
I am asking this question to be sure i am going the right way.
Since im about to learn to program a PIC, what should i choose: a 8051-based PIC or a 8-Bit Risc based PIC?

Or even better, should i choose another PIC like an ARM7?

Thank you.
