uP developers kit

[||| Philip Pilgrim |||]

Hi all,

I hope to build a midi knob box. I found a local fellow who is well versed in machine coding for the 6500 series of uPs.  (he used Commodore Platform). Can anyone recommend a good system for development that would be a smooth transition? I think newer systems have serial lines and software for coding on the PC and uploading to the uP kit...this will be completely new to him. If I can find an econo CPU that uses similar programming mnemonics it would be appreciated.

thanks again
Philip
