[net.micro] single-chip micro

Greetings.  I'm looking for some recommendations regarding a good 
single-chip micro for a small dedicated controller application.

The functionality I require includes:

1) On-chip RAM (64 bytes would even be enough).
2) On-chip EPROM (1K bytes might suffice, 4K would be better).
3) At least 2, and more ideally 3 I/O ports (8 bit) [TTL compat.]
4) On-chip clock (if a crystal is required, it should be a common
   one like a colorburst crystal).
5) Reasonable instruction set.  Something that was 8080 compatible 
   would be ideal, but I suppose that's too much to hope for.
   If nothing else, it would be nice if there was an assembler
   for the beastie around somewhere that I could use.

Needless to say, the chip chosen should be easy to obtain and shouldn't
require a minimum purchase of 10K units!

Anybody have some suggestions?  Thanks much.
