I just wish some of the parts with CAN interfaces were
cheaper. For some reason, the H8 parts with CAN and a decent
amount of flash (128K+) are awfully expensive (in the $20
range). What I really want is 128K of flash, 16-24K of RAM,
and CAN -- but it costs about half as much to glue something
together using a 3062, 32K SRAM, and an external CAN
controller. :(

Maybe you can get an ARM7 with this.

It would need be $8 or less to make it cheaper than the current
3-chip solution.

AT91SAM7A3 would fit but has 256 kB of flash.

I'll take a look. More flash is never a problem. :)
