David; What happened to the good old parameter search list? The present Parameter Chip List is just about usless!
If you move to the left of the screen you can browse the vendor but if you are interested just in 8051 with USB 2.0 and you scroll to the communcation columns, you can't browse. It's so slow that it would take all day to find a chip if you did not already know a selected vendor.
Also, when I select the 8051 from the top of the dialog I still get ALL of the products of each vendor.
If I select 8051, I'm not interested in all the ARM chips, the 166 chips, the 251 chips, etc.
What happened? Since it has been quite some time since I attempted to do a parameter search, maybe the lack of use by other Keil users is the real answer? Al Bradford
That's what happens when a small, successful company run by an engineer is absorbed by a giant company run by an accountant.
I have, just in the last month, had two cases where the 'absorbed' got surprised by directives from the 'absorber' ("no, we will not allow you to do that, as you did in the past").
Quoting Robert Bruce who was the president of a company I worked for which got absorbed "they cut the fat, that was probably healthy, then they cut some meat, we survived, now they want to cut bone".
