- you must be joking. BS2 hovers along at around 2,000 instructions p/sec. BS2 has two major short comings. 1) Overhead of the serial EEPROM which is the reason why it's so slow. 2) Cost - in Australia when BS2 was initially released it retailed for something like $100. I'd swap you a BS2 for a 16f84a any day. In fact, I'd even pay a bit of money on top. Honda Vs Ferrari basically.
