Wow! This group seems to have all but died. It used to be very vibrant.every other sector. But I don't find very many at mainstream manufacturers. I've also only found a couple companies with less visibility who supply these parts.
I'm trying to determine how prevalent 4-bit MCUs are in the world. I know lots of products have used 4-bit devices in the past, coffee-makers, remote controls, microwave ovens, etc. I believe at one time, in terms of raw quantity, they outnumbered
Anyone out there work with 4 bit MCUs? Anyone build products in the quantities of millions where a 4 bit MCU might make a difference price wise?

Sorry, my bad. I didn't see my other post. I need to learn how to
use my tools. :(

You need to get proper tools instead of the "google groups" disaster.
(We've had this discussion before, and I'm not going to try to persuade
you again - but I can still hope you'll see the light!)

Oh come on David, their web interface is good enough to monitor/read
the groups. I do it all the time. When I post I do use thunderbird
so I can have a reasonable predictability of what my post will look
like, but for just looking at "what's up" the browser via google
groups is just fine.

let's not get side-tracked (my apologies for taking it in that
direction). GG is great for searching and looking at old posts - I'm
sure anything I might want to say about it, I have already said before :-)

What part of -this post was an accident- do you not understand???
The OTHER thread is the post people are replying to. This thread
needs to be ignored. We don't need two on the same topic.
We have total control over who we ignore.

Usenet is for chatter - and it is anarchy in practice. You have no
control of what people post here, who posts what, or in which threads. Starting a thread gives you exactly /zero/ special rights or privileges.
