Lloyd Burns is an unknown quantity at this point
There is a C compiler available for the Microchip units, as mentioned. It works with MPLAB as a "language" add-in. It is not free, as is MPLAB, but you can find out about it at Microchip.

There is another "PIC" company called Atmel, which advertises and/or is featured in Elektor Magazine, Everyday Practical Electronics and a host of other English magazines, and, I think, in Nuts & Volts. According to one article, they figured out sooner than Microchip that Flash memory is what the people want, although Mchip has definitely got it now. C is available.


As mentioned as well, you can program 68xx chips in C : They are the family that has powered Macs from the outset.

If you like the Intel line, look for a PC104 board, compatible with DOS based PC's. with disk drives (hard and RAM/ROM) and so on.

Perhaps you ought to decide what you want to do first, then select your tools, based on what you want to do. It may be that you need more horsepower than a given chip produces, and you choose a different one, and then you find out it is only programmable in MUMPS. What you want to accomplish should be the first question, not what language, or which chip.
