Thanks for the Toshiba pointer. Found the data sheet at:
http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/Datasheet/TMP87C408.pdf
It appears to have 8K masked ROM, and 256 bytes (!) of RAM. It also has a
serial port and 6 A/D ports, which I don;t believe are being used in the
Microscout.
I'm going to look around and see if I can find a compatible processor with
flash or eprom, or an external address bus so we can put an eprom on it. A
cursory examination of the processor family shows there's a model with 2k of
ram and 60k or rom - more than enough for a heft kernel ;-)
Once again, thanks for the manufacturer pointer.
