The application I'm considering would require, at most, 15 minute wake-ups. The data logging needs to be accurate and RC time constants scare me (temperature drift of T due to ambient conditions). The app requires field installation of the data logger. An hourly wake- up is probably going to be the norm. I'm playing with a Z80-based SBC I built in college (1990) and a shiny new EPROM burner. I also have a 68HC11 board from New Micros running Forth. I like Forth. If this project ever reaches fruition, I'll probably have a Forth-based machine. The M100 would then become a data gathering tool.
