	I would think the MegaAVR would be the best part, since it has a 
multiply instruction...but, yes, I have an interest in such 
things...although, I am more inclined towards Gata Arrays...I was just 
looking at the Spartan III chips from Xilinx last night...the 50K gate 
version includes four 18x18 multipliers besides the gates...and they 
cost, or so it seems about $10...
