That pilfering of military equipment hits everything !

Well I would not know about that personally...

Hello stranger long time no hear..

Hello, likewise :) I just popped in here, I'm actually looking for Linux
PowerPC material but at a less intense level than the linux-ppc kernel
development list ! c.o.l.e and c.o.l.ppc are almost dead in comparison.
A well known search engine suggests PPC does come up here once every
few years ... I miss the practical and informed Atmel formums I used
for embedded help at $OLDJOB.

Plenty of folks here with PPC experience as you should have seen by now.

How's the H8 market holding up ? :)

Mainly legacy now for me, occassionally I use some small ARM devices,
cost tools and many other aspects.

Major part of my work these days is the manufacturing processes of ASICs
just finished a major testing system for military avionics ASIC testing.
Full temperature range testing and mixed signal ASICs, thousands per
month.

Last few years has mainly moved towards ASIC market.
