I am starting a new high-volume (10K umits per day) low cost/performance
(a 10 cent 4-bit microcontroller will do the job) project, but this one
has a twist; I have a requirement to make a USB version and a 10BaseT
or 100BaseT Ethernet version. Just in case anyone has already done the
research, does anyone here have a favorite chip for low-cost USB?
For low-cost Ethernet? I have lots of board space and a capable
power supply, and my actual data rate is well under 100 Bytes/second.

I may end up doing the protocol in software with a slightly more
powerful uC if I don't like the prices for the interface chips.
