It can seem daunting but its a good way to get to grips with the way a
processor functions.

Agreed, compiled C is slower and bulkier than straight ASM, thats why I use
C for the heavy maths and when it need to be time/size critical I do it
either in
asembler or 'reduce' the compiled C further.

nice chippy..
But I want a play with a 40Mips coldfire!
If I only had some money!
