[sci.electronics] 80c51 vs. 68hc11

skohls@uceng.UC.EDU (Steve Kohls) (09/11/89)

	I have a few questions for those out there that have used the
	Intel 80C51 or Motorola 68HC11 series of processors.  I am
	working on a project which will require several microcontrollers
	in a distributed network, and I am trying to decide which one to
	use.  I would like to use an available realtime kernel to control
	scheduling, etc.  Motorola apparently offers its MCX11 kernel, 
	source code and manual for free! (see Sept. 1 1989 issue of _EDN_)
	Has anyone had any experience with this?  Are there any inexpensive
	realtime kernels out there for the 8051?  (or even a good Public
	Domain source of 8051 code).
	For those of you who have used both processors, or had to decide
	between the two, which do you prefer?
	Any help would be appreciated.

			Thanks,
				Steve
