Yeah, I'm doing that "follow up to myself" thing again... ;-)

Just had to point out to Zonn that I switched microcontrollers for this
one. A PIC would probably be cheaper actually, but I like the 8051's
ability to deal with lookup tables without jumping through hoops. (and the
2051 is just pretty cool, IMHO. Flash memory, small DIP package, 8051 code
compatible, we have a bunch left over from a previous project.... ;-)
