        There is a fairly active community of Cybiko developers. It's a popular
platform because it's got a keyboard, LCD, AVR controller, Hitachi H8S main
CPU, 512K FLASH, 512K 'disk' (RAM), 1.5MB of memory, USB port, etc.

        Cybiko has, IIRC, been very cooperative in providing information. They also
have their own developers kit that is either free, or very cheap.

        You can find this on eBay really cheap.
