[sdiy] Best Seq PIC

I dunno - I'd be tempted to use the E5 series of processors from
Triscend. It's a complete system on a chip - 8051 MCU, FPGA for custom
functions (up to 3200 logic cells), and software to configure the
processor/FPGA combo. You could have hardware EG's in there and the
sequencer controlling everything.

Seems the only drawback is the cost of the development environment - $1500
for their software to build it - not an easy thing to choke down.
