Re: [lpc2000] LPC2138, VGA, and SD/MMC

Thanks Jeremy, I have had a look at a few different ARMs before but I 
tend to reject them for several reasons. The Sharp part has a large pin 
count (not excessive) plus no internal Flash which means more chips. If 
it had some internal Flash I wouldn't mind and would probably use it. If 
I can do it all on-board a chip, then that is the way I prefer.

I know I can easily do an FPGA connected to an external bus ARM plus the 
wide RAM but again this means several large chips, multilayers to run 
all those connections, etc. Nevertheless, I may have to do one along 
these lines just for some hi-res stuff. These tiny single-chippers are 
really spoiling me!
