Nice read Peter, thank you for the info:)
No problem!
Would be nice to use some voltage reference differencing Instead of using a Max 232, but the Max is probably a cleaner approach.
The MAX232 is pretty common for connecting both PIC and AVR devices to RS-232 equipment. It just needs a few external capacitors, which is nice.
A nerdy aside, I heard the 18F4550 and 18F2550 can run up to 12MIPs from a 4MHz crystal, they've got a whopping 16K of flash, and they have a Full-Speed USB v2.0 hardware.
Yep. And 2kb RAM. Check out the data sheet page 11 and chapter 2. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39632b.pdf
Now if I could only run Linux on a PIC;)
Linux? That's for the ETRAX, made by Axis. Check out http://developer.axis.com/
Everything-is-included Linux chip with 10/100 and both NOR and NAND flash for boot as well as storage. They've ported the GNU toolchain too.
I'm still waiting for some project where I can use the MCM and end up with a few extra boards. :)

Also look at uClinux http://www.uclinux.org/
We use it for dsp's and cpu's like PIC's that don't have mmu's.
