Not to spoil anybodys fun, but with a PIC all instructions fit in less
than 16bits (all memory available can be addressed in just one
instruction) and that is considered one unit of memory. RAM is still RAM
in that one byte is and always should be 8bits and addressed as such and
still only takes one instruction. PIC chips are beasts of all speed and
i/o think of an Intel type chips as pigs wallowing in the mud and PIC
chips as horses galloping at full speed, there is no competion. Besides
we all know Micro$oft missed the course on how to trim the fat!
I am no expert, but I do believe what is said above is at least possible.
I am the nut case that said elks could run on a PIC chip a while back, I
am still woking on it and still believe the possibilities.
Time Marches On...
