OK, I am self-bumping. I hope the church doesn't hold this against me.
To amplify a small incoming signal for a counter project, I have just sampled this fine product. Wish me well because I have never used one of these before though it looks simple enough:
From Atmel I got a couple of XMEGAs and a couple of AT32UC3s. I want to prove that I can make these work as easily as I make ATMEGAs work.
Microchip has sent me a few 8Mx16 Flash ROMs. They program in my ChipMax II well. Got an idea for these.

And Fairchild supplied some very high speed counters for the counter project too. Just came today.

Anyone else?
