I have about twenty sitting here. It's probably not used outside of a Honda ECU. I dunno if you've every tried to trial and error figure out a chip of this complexity's function by tracing the circuit board and peering at a partially commented dasm of the code used for the MCU.

I got the same treatment from Microchip about some PIC12 and PIC16 samples. *sigh* I ended up using some Amtel 8052 variants I had laying around, but I wanted the PICs due to 1) curiousity and 2) much smaller packaging. > >The next time I'm at Howard Electronics I'll try to remember to check >their book shelf for the NEC Manual.
