That little fellow would fit anywhere; question is whether it has enough pins (although, the idea of using more than one for parallel processing and process management is more feasible with low power using two or three of these!). Thanks for the tip. Have you programmed the 'Teensy' ?

Yes, I too was very impressed when I saw Teensy 3.1.

I'm quite sure one teensy alone could do the job, from memory (256k flash & 64k Ram) or performance point of vue. 34 digital I/O pins shall also be sufficient, especially if you consider some SPI LCD driver (only 3 pins needed) , some lines for keyboard matrix (with or without a 3 to 8 decoder), and plenty remaining I/O for, hum, maybe HPIL like interface ?

Actually, I'm using a Teensy 3.1 to emulate a generic HPIL device on Jeff's EMU41. So far I managed to have some HPIL storage and digital I/O & PWM outputs.

I use it with the Arduino / Teensyduino IDE on Windows, not perfect, but usable.
It has many libraries available, I'm using sdfat for the storage & scoop for cooperative multitasking.
