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.
