Re: TI-H: Re:


I am not sure about the AVR, but the PIC has a TON of info, inlcuding
premade projects (kewl ones I might add) and plans to build the PIC
burner... I'd probably start out with Z80 (via a TI calc.), then go up to
PIC/AVR... although I don't know much about the AVR, so shoot me (no flames,
it is the law of the list! :)...
