Yeah I'll definatly second that, looked at PICs and AVRs when I got back into
doing electronic stuff, and decided that PIC asm was horrible ! AVR is much
closer to 6809, plus there is also a free GCC implementation.

Also don't be put off by the fact that the max PIC speed is 40MHz, and AVR is
20MHz, I believe that the PICs internally devide that by 4 so it's effectivly
ony 10MHz.

Just my 2 pence worth.....

Phill.
