Ullrich -

Thanks for your reply. Sunplus is a little odd about guarding their 
datasheets. Almost no one has heard of them because of it, I think, 
though they have a number of big customers in the toy industry and now 
higher markets too.

I'm asking the folks at Sunplus and Spectrum Rep (their US 
representatives) about a C compiler. I'll let you know if I find 
anything interesting--and if I manage to get cc65 to work.

Thanks,
Wallace
