#89710 - every rule has exceptions
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I would disagree. I'd say that if you use code banking you may have chosen the wrong processor. For that matter, if you do constant 32-bit math or floating point you may have used the wrong processor. If we use hard and fast rules I'd say we could judge the '51 to be the wrong processor in most cases.

Every rule has exceptions, I have no doubt that a case could be found where codebanking a '51 would be the right approach. HOWEVER, progress has removed the "reason" for codebanking (no other processor can match the price point), it has largely disappeared with the event of the $5 ARM.

Other "rules" that progress has created where I am sure exceptions can be found, although I will still preach them as "hard" rules:
With ISP, do not waste time building a programmer.
The 8255 is an antiquity, better solutions exist.
The RC reset is insufficient.
