I'm new to microcontrollers. 1 hour new. Just read the tutorial, and it's very interesting. I have the programming side of it down. Just want to know how simple it is setting up an actual circuit.

My questions are:
How do i write to the 805X chip? Is their a specail cable to be built? What sort of 'base' do the 805X chips need?
for example, can i feed it +5volts, and connected the referenced pins to a crystal, and then have it running?
I don't need an EEPROM do I? I only want to make very small programs, can they reside on chip?

Thankyou for your help.
