Whats different about the Rabbit compared to other microprocessors such as the Z80, Z180, 8051, V25, etc.?
A. The Rabbit was designed by people with extensive practical experience in designing small single-board computers and all the software that goes along with that business. The Rabbit is similar to the Z80 and Z180/HD64180 microprocessors, but it runs a lot faster and extensions to its instruction set make it much more C friendly. The software support for the Rabbit is extensive and easy to use. Our partner company, Z- World, Inc., has ported its Dynamic C interactive development environment to the Rabbit, and is currently designing a family of single-board control computers based on the Rabbit. The Rabbit is very fast for a processor with an 8-bit bus. It can handle large programs written in C. It has extensive on-chip peripherals, including four serial ports. The hardware design of a Rabbit system is exceptionally simple because of the glueless interface architecture of the Rabbit. In a nutshell, compared to previous generation microprocessors with an 8-bit bus, the Rabbit gives you e
