Hi!

Not quite BSD, sorry, but you lot have a wealth of knowledge on small 
system boards, I hope someone can help.

I've been asked to spec out a system...   there are political and religious 
reasons why it cannot use a PC based systems, but need some sort of 
embedded board that can be programmed up to do a single task.   So any 
recommendations for :

very low spec processor, e.g. 6502/Z80 class !!
(software will go on eprom)
single line lcd display, integrated keyboard or standard keyboard port
printer port, floppy disc or other removable low-capacity storage.

with printer, the whole thing will end up something like an electronic 
typewriter, customised to do a specific task.  (ie, prompt user for 
information via display, then print a form out, incorporating this 
information.)

This needs to be something that can be bought new now, with a dependable 
supply. (ie, I can't dig out my old BBC micros and sell them those!)

Thanks for any help,

Rob,
