Did you all know that the CPU in the Mars Pathfinder Sojourner
Rover is an 8-bit Intel 80C85 running at 4MHz?  It was picked
for its low power consumption.  I'd think that an equally low
power, but more powerful, 16-bit WDC 65C816 running at 20MHz
would do more and do it faster.

What do you think?
