| What a strange variation on Z80, extending it with 16-bit wide data paths... Who needs that? We have enough 16-bit ISAs around already, including PDP-11, original 8086 and even 65C816. |

| The EZ80 offers enhancements to the Z80, allowing the size of the register-pairs to be 24 bits.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_eZ80 |

| MSP430 has entered the chat. |
| |
| ▲ | glouwbug 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I remember them selling for $4.30 when they came out | | |
| ▲ | dfox 2 days ago | parent [-] | | That was long after MSP430 were widely used, that pricing was part of the launch of the "value line" G-series (And it's associated MSP430 LaunchPad eval board, which is what was priced at $4.30). | | |
| ▲ | glouwbug a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Yeah I loved my LaunchPad. I bought like 20 and handed them out like candy at school | |
| ▲ | kjs3 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Were the LauchPads or the ST 'Discovery' line of super cheap eval boards first? Those were brilliant for getting the part in people hands. |
