Hi all,

I'm an 8051 newbie and got two questions:

1)
The PIC family is generally cheaper than 8051. Why? Where do I spend those extra bucks when I buy an 8051 instead of PIC?
Why should I choose 8051 instead of PIC by the way?

2) I need literature concerning what's unique/special with the 89051 family and how to program them.
I have 'enough' of experience in C,C++ and assembler programming and general electronics knowledge.
What's your recommenation?



cheers!
Frans
