William Chan, yur a great inflation figher. But something has to pay for all this human support. There are still Sx-18s and the SX-28 rails on sale. Oh, and their is the SX-Blitz for those that cannot afford the SX-Key. Try looking at the sale area.

In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, Jon Williams wrote:Indeed -- we were asked to provide bare boards for $10, but my boss (Ken) loves to give our customers more than they expect so he decided we'd stuff them and keep the price at $10. It's hard to beat that kind of deal. William, we're doing everything we can to keep SX prices fair and still provide you a high-level of support. I think you'll find that when you're ready to do a big (10K+) OEM deal the prices get better than the low-volume pricing we publish. That said, no matter how many SX chips you want to buy, we'll be here to help out as best we can.

SX-Sim is built into the latest version of the SX-Key IDE, so you may want to download that if you don't already have it.

Here's to the simple things, that would have probably saved me some headaches with weird time sequencing issues on the last project. Just been building and debugging on the bench, the comment about not being able to use the debug was because I have no clue what I'm looking at in Assembler, the key I have, the knowledge I dont, maybe this time next year I'll have a better handle on it. Downloaded and installing. Thanks :) ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=91902#m92049 Need assistance?

It simulates all that! Far less clutter and you can jump into a quick review or study session.

We've only got SX28AC/DP and SX48BDs left from Ubicom, and over 150K Parallax-labeled SX chips in our inventory with man more on the way. As promised, we have both leaded and RoHS-compliant packages in our inventory. The Parallax SX chips still have to undergo testing, but the pre-qualification is complete. Within two weeks I expect us to be well underway with the testing program and then they'll be for sale. And as promised, we will now be able to offer lower prices. Today we were able to roll up our new costs and we're now in the process of defining the correct retail/distributor prices. A new Parallax SX datasheet is prepared and will be available within a few days. We appreciate the patience our customers have shown. We're in a backorder situation at the moment but our customers are being supportive. We hope to have a marketing announcement within a week. Sincerely, Ken Gracey Parallax, Inc.
