the 186 can address more than the z80 and its cost much less, is more
integrated,and can include cool things like USB and PPP protocol support.

the Intel386EX is the embedded uC (yes, I meant uC) I'm using for my latest
project.  Its totally integraged at $16.

- It interfaces directly to any IDE device in two instruction cycles
- Its bus has a bandwidth of nearly 14MByte/s
- Integrated Peripheral Functions
   -Clock and Power Management Unit
   -Chip-select Unit
   -Interrupt Control Unit
   -Timer/Counter Unit
   -Watchdog Timer Unit
   -Asynchronous Serial I/O Unit
   -Synchronous Serial I/O Unit
   -Parallel I/O Unit
   -DMA and Bus Arbiter Unit
   -Refresh Control Unit
   -JTAG-compliant Test-logic Unit
