Re: PICs as replacements for L297s

Hi Paul,

If you know the '85 development kit (that takes me back), then
certainly! PIC's will be a piece of cake for you!

And now 'C' is available for PIC's. As complete controllers, you can
get more done, WITHOUT having to wire up several I.C.'s for the
peripherals.
