Hi Clay,

CAN? Sorry to ask but that's not an acronym I'm familiar with.

>....I know at least one is an 8051 varient....

I've not had any serious involvement in embedded systems (other than as an
occasional hobby project) since '92, so I don't know if it's still in
production, but the 80152 (8051 variant) which I was wibbling on about in here
a few weeks back has a built in CD/CSMA "uart".

:-) A friend of mine did a similar project in '91 for his Scalectrix setup,
used a Z8 though.
