Hello Group --
I am an experienced embedded controller developer who has been using the
68HC11, 68332, and 68HC08/05 family devices. I'm looking for more
up-to-date controllers to replace the HC11 and others as the product
line matures. The 56F800/E family looks pretty interesting!
For my first question --
The 56F8013 Demo kit that I purchased includes and offer for a USB
adaptor. How important is this item; does it offer real functional
advantages over the parallel adapter? Or, is this mostly a speed and
convenience upgrade??
Thanks, Bob Smith

Now many laptop computers do not have parallel port,
only have USB.

Hello Bob
The USB Tap is definitely much faster for uploading than the parallel
port ( I never timed it, but something like 10 seconds versus 1 or 2
minutes for 64 KB code), and when debugging, the single-stepping delay
is shorter too.
Best regards
