	One small question, what is the advantage of the Cypress USB/Micro
chip vs one of the Atmel range
(http://www.atmel.com/atmel/products/prod245.htm), like the
AT76C711. 24MHz AVR (8bit RISC), 2KB Data SRAM, 2KB Dual port RAM, 8KB
Code SRAM, UART, SPI, 3v3. I'll have a quck look at the Cypress
chip. Atmel also do samples.

	Cheers Adam
